You should write for Rolling Stone. They're desperate for this sort of insight. |

Neither is an LAC. Get a grip. |

Most of the schools suggested aren't even LACs.
OP, seriously, are you unable to google? Just pull up a list of top SLACs, and start there. My DS is looking at all the NESCAC schools, but he could care less about frats and partying. You can still take a look at them. Amherst College Bates College Bowdoin College Colby College Connecticut College Hamilton College Middlebury College Trinity College Tufts University Wesleyan University Williams College |
You’re lecturing the OP but you’re ignoring OP’s requirements. Can’t you read? Preppy and Greek, not the NESCAC’s. |
Connecticut college doesn’t have Greek life |
Also she said 4.0, not higher. Williams and some of the others are looking for GPAs above 4.0, national recognitions, 32-36 ACTs, etc. |
To the posters simply offering criticism and not suggestions, this list and others posted these are simply starting ideas for OP and her son to check out, not carved in stone lists of where her son will apply - she and her son can start to read up on these colleges and visit and he will see what he likes. Many of the colleges named have the vibe that Op’s son likes even if it doesn’t check every box she named (Wake Forest is a good example of that). |
| Hampden Sydney |
It’s not criticism. It’s correction. Why offer up schools that don’t have what OP is looking for? |
| Middlebury if he doesn’t mind the cold. |
Great, so suggest a pile of them that don’t meet the basic requirement. 10-4. OP, give Hamburger University a try. No greek and no prep, unless you count the tzaziki burger and chopping lettuce. |
That’s ridiculous. As the parent of two kids who attend/ed LACs, there are a lot of overlapping applications from this list and the other posted. |
