[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is splitting hairs. If her choice is Bates or Connecticut, she should chose location, student body, culture. They aren't that far apart. I'm not sure that Bowdoin and Hamilton have "big advantages" either. Not sure where that's coming from.[/quote]

Agree. She should go where she wants to go and get good grades, do research (if it’s available, which is one of the advantages of a small LAC), do well on the GREs (if needed). That’s all that matters.[/quote]

Agreed. They're all great schools, with more similarities than differences (as are other SLACs ranked in the top 50 or so). Unless there's a specific major or a particular professor she wants to study with, and assuming finances and transportation issues are similar, what matters most for the LAC experience is: 
1) choosing one that feels like a good fit with the student body & general vibe, 2) taking a wide variety of classes, 3) doing research with professors, and 4) taking advantage of the close-knit alumni network after graduation.

Best of luck to her![/quote]
