Need targets and safeties

Good suggestion!

In that same vein, you could explore Clarkson as a safety. Very engineer/math-oriented. Greek life is nothing. Athletes are nerds (and all but the hockey team is kinda rough, so you aren't dealing with jock-y jocks).

It’s pretty Greek. They downplay it on campus tours but there’s a strong residential Greek presence.

Current statistic is 10-12 percent in Greek life, so no, it isn’t big.

Yes, Wesleyan reach

More of a reach than a target, but if he likes Brown, etc., and a collaborative, non-Greek vibe, he should definitely consider Wesleyan.

Skidmore, Bard, Vassar

Broadly considered, Wesleyan falls into the same selectivity category as Carleton:

In any case, I concur with the recommendation of Wesleyan for this student, particularly for the extent to which it shares attributes with Brown.

Disagree about Wesleyan - it’s a reach for everyone

Agree. Seems to have robust math (24 graduates in 2024).

^^^Sorry, meant to say that I agree it’s a reach. But also that it has a strong math cohort so worth considering for this kid.

For schools somewhat less challenging for admission than Swarthmore, look into Hamilton, Haverford, Grinnell and Oberlin.

Vassar

Reach: Carnegie Mellon, low reach: grinnell, target: Rochester safety: Minnesota

Regarding the mentions of Union, I'm not specifically recommending it for your criteria, but it offers a fantastic science building, and appears, along with Harvey Mudd from your list, in this site:

Best Colleges for Science Lab Facilities | The Princeton Review https://share.google/oy3EHHBrhhnoVJb2q

Boston College
Villanova
Loyola MD. (They have a special stats/data program)
Virginia Tech- could join the science LLC for a collaborative environment

Aa a general comment, a student interested in statistics may benefit from considering colleges with an available data science major.
