Davidson
It is very hard to get into, though. |

| You need to be careful with some of those. Swarthmore for example does something like 6 merit scholarships, 4 of which don't apply to this geography, so that leaves 2. And its already super selective so a kid would have to be really exceptional to get one of the two. |

Understood. But let's add to the list and just put an asterisk by the SLACs with limited # of merit aid. |

| Mt. Holyoke is not in NY, it is in western Massachusetts. |

| The school’s also have different vibes. I can’t imagine someone being interested in both Beloit and Sewanee, for example. |

The only ones I would characterize towards conservative in the list would be Sewanee and Rhodes. Denison and Bucknell are more explicitly career-oriented than the others which maybe creates a more moderate/conservative vibe. The rest are fairly liberal--maybe Oberlin would be typecast as the most liberal of this group. I don't think it's a meaningful exercise to try and order the middle group. Liberal arts--which focuses on broad perspectives of learning and the world tends to align with liberal political perspectives. None of these listed have a strong religious background, though some have origins. |
