From my junior daughter as we make lists to visit this spring:
-assume competitive for all schools, realizing that list will need to be balanced (we've been through this twice before with older kids) -Pre med, likely majoring in data science, math, neuroscience, biology, etc depending on the school but likes the idea of a liberal arts core. -Friendly, happy kids who want community. -Great relationships with professors, small lectures, lots of discussion. -Size small to medium (2-10K or so) -Kid is very mainstream in style/interests but doesn't want overwhelmingly preppy but neither do they want super artsy/LGBTQ etc. A total mix would be great. -racial mix would be great. -not a drinker/partier but does like dressing up for an occasional party and loves doing things and going out at night. -prefers campus where greek life is either small or super inclusive. Does not want greek life rush stress. -relatively gender balanced. Ok, any thoughts? |

| Yale, UChicago, Northwestern, Brown, Rice, WashU, Emory, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Tufts, Lehigh, Rochester, William & Mary |
+1 This is essentially my pre-med DS's exact list. |
| I think W&M is a great suggestion! Maybe also somewhere like Skidmore since she’s interested in smaller liberal arts colleges. |
Skidmore seems super artsy/LGBTQ to me. |
| Emory seems like a slam dunk for this kid. |

"Happy" kids are a requirement, so Case is a no-go. |

Notre Dame
Rice |
Not the OP, but can you shed some light on this? What makes Case kids unhappy? Too competitive? Location? Something else. We just visited and really couldn’t get a sense of the kids there. |

| First thought is W&M especially if you are in-state. Davidson and Emory might be too preppy but worth a look. Add Notre Dame. |
