<p>Jaxmo, we have an excellent pre-med program. Every single person with at least a 3.0 and some decent MCAT score (I forget exactly the number; I’m not pre-med myself) has gotten into med school in the past 10 or so years.</p>
<p>We also have great history, classics and philosophy departments (many of the History teachers are W&L alumni and have been teaching here for over 30 years). Although being pre-med requires a LOT of science-oriented classes, your son could indulge in the excellent liberal-arts programs W&L has to offer as well.</p>
<p>I understand exactly where you’re coming from in terms of the financial system-- I’m the first of three kids, and we got no financial aid, while I could have gone to Rhodes for much less. My parents are definitely struggling to pay for it but they see it as a long-term investment that will pay off nicely.</p>
<p>As for football-- you probably know that the team had an amazing season this year, and we have some pretty good young talent that should keep the team going strong in the future. W&L sounds to be a pretty good fit; I look forward to possibly meeting you guys on Accepted Students day!</p>
