| We wanted to go to Ursinus or Drexel, but neither one has a tour available this weekend. If you have anywhere else to suggest, we would appreciate it. We prefer Pennsylvania at this point. My DD is undecided about a major, but is an excellent student with high GPA and OK, but not stellar, SAT scores. All ideas appreciated! Thanks in advance! |

| Bucknell? I graduated from there in 1994. I know it has changed a lot since then, but it is a beautiful campus and I had a great time there. Dickinson is also nice. |

| Pitt, CMU, Allegheny, Penn State, Villanova, St Joe's. But really go to collegeboard.com and run a search with PA in your search criteria. |

Bryn Mawr--a stretch, but possible, with good grades and OK SATs.
Haverford and Swarthmore are going to be tough with less than stellar everything... |

Dickinson, Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette.
In VA you can try U of Richmond. In MD you can try St Marys College (not Mt St Marys). |

| With those stats, might want to consider U Del. |

| Another former Mawrtyr pushing a visit to the Main Line. And even if you can't get an official tour, you could also hit Haverford, Villanova and Cabrini at the same time at least for a quick wander-around session. |
