[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is all in on a liberal arts college. He is applying currently as a Philosophy and Government/Politics major with career plans pending. He's especially into colleges with a good literary/writing community and a chill student vibe (he's not looking for the neurotic grind you see at some other top schools). Top stats at a decent private boarding school. extra points if the campus is pretty!
So far:
Amherst
Pomona
Kenyon (top choice, adored the tour, facilities, and community)
Middlebury
Wesleyan (second top choice)
Haverford
Sewanee
Reed[/quote]

Since Amherst and Pomona are reaches for everyone (they're well known and just have too few spots to offer qualified students), I'd expand the list by considering adding:

Vassar - as a target, very strong academically, collaborative not competitive vibe.
Oberlin? - as a likely
Grinnell?

I would also consider EDing to Kenyon. It sounds like it's your DS's very clear, 1st choice and I agree it would be a great fit![/quote]
