[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD has  higher stats,but also seeks that rare bird of a LAC in or near a city and these were the ones that we thought were excellent schools that she feels confident she could get into.  (Her top choices are Haverford/Swarthmore near  Philly but those are reaches for anyone! )

Ohio: Denison (I don't think it's a stretch if GPA is uw--SAT scores are high for the school) and Case Western --in towns, but close to Columbus (pop 800K+)
MI: Kalamazoo  -- within the city of Kalamazoo (pop 75k+) ( next to Western Michigan University).  DD LOVED this school/city. 
MN:  Macalester (this would be a genuine reach)
NY: Skidmore (maybe a reach) Saratoga Springs pop 25K+[/quote]

1310 SAT is below the average at Denison, which is 1330.  My DC just graduated from there.  OP's DC might have a chance for admission, but merit aid would be limited.[/quote]

Where do you see that SAT average? Denison is the one school where I cannot find their common data set.  The numbers colleges put on their "fast facts" often don't fully show the picture (like how many kids submit SAT scores, if there are spring admits who aren't counted etc) or what the average is (I just see the 25-75th percentile).[/quote]
