[quote=Anonymous]If Amherst was compelling, there are less ultra-selective but still competitive and highly regarded SLACs with name recognition she could think about as targets or at least not entirely "unrealistic"-- Connecticut College, Trinity, Smith, Macalester, Kenyon, William & Mary, Haverford, Skidmore, Dickinson, Denison, Bryn Mawr, Oberlin, Franklin & Marshall, Brandeis. Ithaca, Muhlenberg, Hobart & William Smith, Lafayette maybe closer to a safety. Bigger schools in a Northwestern vein to consider include Rochester, Syracuse, Wisconsin. I do really recommend thinking about historically women's colleges like Bryn Mawr and Smith (and maybe even Mount Holyoke)-- they're not as impossible to get into as they might be if they were co-ed, but the student bodies tend to be highly intellectual, engaged, and curious. Bryn Mawr has a close relationship with Swarthmore and Haverford, and Smith is in the five college consortium with Amherst, so they aren't actually isolated or worlds without men. A bummer that she's not interested in California-- it's easy to love Scripps. [/quote]
