Suggest Some LAC for DC

[Anonymous]

DC is interested in applying to a couple liberal arts schools but does not have the stats for the top selective schools (3.5 GPA/1310 SAT). Any suggestions for schools to consider. DC would like something on the larger side (2,000 students or larger), near a larger type city with some culture and not uber/cut throat competitive.

Any thoughts?

Denison is pretty great and not too far from Columbus. Not sure if the stats are there though. More details on the GPA would help.

Don’t know where Marist is but the other 3 are in pretty remote locations.

Dickinson is quite close to the state capital and city of 50,000, Harrisburg.

I don't know the intended major or budget but look into The College of New Jersey and St Mary's College of Maryland.

"and St Mary's College of Maryland."

OOOPS, didn't catch the city part. NOT SMCM.

Yeah, my DC went there and the kids are not making trips to Harrisburg to see culture. DC loved the school but it is not urban.

OP said near a city not urban campus. And there is an art and museum scene in Harrisburg for those who are interested. Not saying it’s Paris but it’s something.

+1 to Denison--close enough to Columbus and with a culture that supports lots of internships. Kalamazoo College is in a small city if you're willing to go a bit further West to Michigan. Likewise Macalester is also a maybe, but tougher stats and even further West (St Paul, MN). DC would have more options if considered looking at smallest to mid-sized universities.

Agree, but not sure OP's DC has the stats for it.

Ohio Wesleyan is similarly close to Columbus and easier to get into.
