Hamilton's academics and social atmosphere may suit your daughter.

Chicago and Georgia tech are not ideal for premed. Plenty of better options.

William & Mary, Juniata.

(I would say Mt. Holyoke, but you wanted a gender mix. Mind you it is part of a consortium with multiple nearby campuses)

This is what I thought, and it matches most of what the OP described.
However, the size might be a little bigger than what she was hoping for.
Also, BU has many clubs, but if you’re looking for professional Greek organizations, it can be competitive.

-assume competitive for all schools, realizing that list will need to be balanced (we've been through this twice before with older kids)
-Pre med, likely majoring in data science, math, neuroscience, biology, etc depending on the school but likes the idea of a liberal arts core.
-Friendly, happy kids who want community.
-Great relationships with professors, small lectures, lots of discussion.
-Size small to medium (2-10K or so)
-Kid is very mainstream in style/interests but doesn't want overwhelmingly preppy but neither do they want super artsy/LGBTQ etc. A total mix would be great.
-racial mix would be great.
-not a drinker/partier but does like dressing up for an occasional party and loves doing things and going out at night.
-prefers campus where greek life is either small or super inclusive. Does not want greek life rush stress.
-relatively gender balanced.

Ok, any thoughts?

Middlebury, Colby, Davidson, Carlton, Hamilton

Wellesley, Barnard, Smith, Bryn Mawr

Another vote for Davidson

Rice

I think your description screams Amherst. It's a great pre-med program, small classes, gender balance, no Greek life, great interaction with professors.

My kid is pre-med at one of those schools. Most of these schools are not small where the kid is going to have discussion style classes for pre-med with relationships with professors.
