[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the advice. Which SLACs seem like a good fit? We are full pay but would like to keep COA around $50k/year. [/quote]

St. Olaf has a great environmental science program and a major in dance (also, music, drama and stuidio art).  A 4.1 W GPA plus decent test scores should get your kid enough merit to go below 50k, easily.  Full pay is $63k, which is realitively affordable for a SLAC and they are generous with merit.

St. Olaf was my kid’s second choice for a double major in geology and music.  He ended up somewhere great, but I think he would have been happy at St. Olaf.   He put a lot of thought into going, despite the ranking being lower.   When we visited, the kids seemed very nice and it was a very special place.

Another option would be be Wooster. They have theater/dance as a major or minor and a concentration in environmental studies. They gave a 4.1 ish weighted kid I know almost 45k in merit aid.

And, finally, Oberlin is very strong in fine arts (obviously, with the conservatory there), including a dance major and STEM. Getting the cost down to about 50k so possible, but not a given. [/quote]
