You’ll do fine at any of them. I have a kid at Barnard and Williams and the English dept. is fabulous at each. Barnard has a more structured creative writing program and has produced many writers. That said, my kid at Williams has been encouraged to work on creative projects even for academic classes.

They departments are structured differently but the end is the same: kids who are fluent in literature and can write well in many genres.

U of Chicago was another possible school for S. They actually wrote back about how much they liked his essay, so it’s a place where writing is also stressed. A lot.

You should choose the school that inspires you the most.

You can PM with specific questions.
