Schools with Early / rolling decisions.
Kids I know who applied to Brown had Pitt, Macalester and WI on their lists. |

W&M ranked quite a bit lower than several of these. But a girl can dream. |

Definitely true at our school. |

“Reach” doesn’t give any indication of how “reasonable” Brown might be. |

Doesn’t likely and safety mean the same thing? |

| My kid applied to Brown as a reach this year. We thought W&M was a target but counselor said it was a safety. W&M ended up being her choice. It was definitely her vibe. But it was also the best place she got in. Don’t have a lot of suggestions that are less competitive than W&M for you. She applied to UMass and GA as “safeties” and got into both. But they aren’t like W&M. |

? W&M is ranked higher than Santa Clara, Boston College, Connecticut College, and Wake Forest. It has higher test scores and % submitting than Santa Clara, Boston College, Connecticut College, and Wake Forest, too. Pomona is more highly ranked and has higher test scores, though. https://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/ |

| Maybe Rochester or Sarah Lawrence if the idea of an open curriculum is appealing (which I assume it is given the interest in Brown). |

That’s why I mentioned Mary Wash. Should be basically a guaranteed admit, but it has a W&M-esque feel. |

| I'm telling you, if he has the stats and application for Brown, William and Mary will be a safety. It's not a hard admit for a strong kid. |

BC is not a likely with a 13% acceptance rate |
