| Depauw University is often referred to as Denison’s “twin.” I’d also look at College of Wooster. |

What do you like about Denison?
Dickinson might be a little easier to get into, but it's not a safety. Wooster may be a little more quirky, and is less sporty, but it would be more of a Target/Safety Ursinus is definitely sporty but less preppy/wealthy than Denison. It would be a safety. |

| DoesnDenison have a similar vibe to Elon? Seems like maybe. |

Fiske Guide does have Elon as an overlap. (Other overlap schools listed are as selective or more so.) |

This is a pretty good list of peer schools for Denison, other than Lawrence and Saint Lawrence are fairly distant from Denison and not really peers in the way that the others are. |

Wooster and Lawrence have more academic vibes, but this is a pretty good list. Dickinson and Gettysburg also were solid calls. Maybe Scranton, too. |

| If you're in VA, kids who liked Denison seem to like Christopher Newport. Similar combination of 'new' and traditional with a pre-professional vibe to the liberal arts. Also agree with Gettysburg--though I'm not sure it's that much of a safety for Denison. |
