| What about in-state Va schools? Should have a good shot at UVA and W&M. Others too. |

Definately Wooster as a safetyin science. Their whole thing is turning out kids who can do research and have research opportunities, and it will be a safety for your kid.
Oberlin is good in science and should be a match. Grinnell is in Iowa and with be a low reach, but is one of the top producers of science PhDs. Definately Macalaster if you will go that far. Davidson is great but a reach may be too preppy/ conservative. Skidmore. Have you looked at U Rochester? That might be another match. Looking at SLACs leading to a science PhD without greeks for my my kid right now... |

| Have you considered the NESCACs that are easier to get into? For example, Trinity or Colby? LaFayette in Easton, PA? |

Colby at 16% and even trinity at 33% are hardly safeties. Look at Gettysburg. |

| Wooster would be my first choice, they are strong in the sciences. |

How is Bucknell a safety school compared to Dickinson? |

LACs are great for STEM; lots of opportunities to do research without grad students taking all the plum jobs. |
