Thank you everyone for your replies so far! Miami and Boulder are on the list…will check out all these schools especially Santa Clara. Keep ‘em coming!

By the way, Emory is already on the list but still a reach as we haven’t visited yet so don’t know if she will want to ED there (and even so, nothing a given in this current environment!). Looking for schools with at least 25% acceptance in RD or EA.

Santa Clara has become very hard to get into.

If they are looking for urban schools:

SMU
TCU
University of Denver
Rhodes (close to your lower limit size-wise)

Auburn (at 30k, slightly bigger than your upper limit, but a fun school that doesn’t feel huge for a state university, and has generous merit aid)

Occidental is right around 2000

I know a kid going to Whitman in Washington State. His best friend from high school is at Brown -- it seems like a school for that kind of a kid.
