Looking for some more target schools…kid likes mid sized (nothing less than 2k or more than 20-25k). Ideally somewhat good climate though I know that’s a tall order. Likes Vanderbilt, Brown, Claremont Colleges (for example, among others).
Any good ideas? Not DMV schools-does not want to be that close! |

Santa Clara University
Wesleyan (I know it is below 25% but if your student has a shot and Brown and Vanderbilt it might be a good hard target) Same with Davidson |

Wake was at 20 percent last year and will be significantly lower than that this year as they are reporting a sizable increase in applications. Not sure where Richmond was last year but they also had a sizable increase in apps this year. I would suggest Clemson, which is predicting a 35 percent acceptance rate this year. |

Last year, Vandy had a little less than 25 percent for ed1 and 17 percent for Ed total. Again, not released yet, but likely much lower this year due to increase in app ( in part because of that 25 percent rate last year). People jump on any perceived admissions advantage. |

| PP - Re-read your post and would recommend checking out Santa Clara. Not too hard to get into, mid-sized, and great weather. |
