[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know what the strength for each school is and the weakness. TIA!

My quick thoughts merged with my DC gut reactions + stereotypes so take this however you want:  
Georgetown (DC)--good for pol sci/govt/intl rel--DC found it too "uptight"

American (DC)-- Not very rigorous, not great academic support

Richmond (VA)  Good school, preppy rich kids, greek culture, nice city

UVA (VA)--well-rounded kids, play hard party hard, college town

Dickinson (PA) - good school, never been to it.

William and Mary (VA) --earnest kids, middle of the road politics, excellent academics, nerdy

Swarthmore (PA): very strong academics, pressure cooker environment

Bryn Mawr (PA) - supportive school (my DC is male so not on the list)

Muhlenberg (PA)--not familiar other than the name

Lafayette (PA) -- frat lac

Allegheny (PA) - nice school, town is depressing

Davidson (NC) ==good school but never been to it.

Union (NY)--good for motivated, self-directed kids

Mount Holyoke (MA) --good school, not more familiar

St. Lawrence (NY) not familiar [/quote][/quote]
