Please do not think that W&M wants you less. W&M simply doesn’t have the scholarship funds that U. Chicago does. The Monroe Scholarship is only given to the top 5% of W&M’s applicant pool and is W&M’s way of acknowledging the exceptional accomplishments of those students. It W&M’s way of saying “we want you”.

In the end, you and your family must make the best decision for you financially and via fit and you have two great options. There are certainly differences between the two schools especially in location but both provide exceptional educations with lots of opportunities for research (which the Monroe Scholarship gives you in spades).
