Hi everyone,

I’m majoring in Biology in undergraduate, and hoping to go to law school after that. I got admitted to both College of William & Mary and University of Wisconsin - Madison without any financial aid. However, I don’t know which one to choose over the other.

I’m not so sure whether William & Mary is well known enough in the US, but I’m also kind of worried about 4 year graduation rate of Wisconsin (which is about 58%). Keeping in mind that William & Mary is in fact about $10,000 more expensive than Wisconsin, I want to know if I could get more out of it. Experience wise and academic wise.

I like the fact that William & Mary is a much smaller college, and students get more attention from professors. However, I also understand that Wisconsin has a better known biology program.

Which college should I choose? Does William & Mary have a good biology program?
