[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard terrible reviews of the W&M/St. A program. Please do your research before applying.

Ideally, she will get top grades this year and have a chance to visit schools in person. There is a big difference in location between the VT/ME schools and Boston schools. Does she want to be close to or in a city, or would she be fine in a more isolated setting?

She’s concerned about being too isolated.  I love Kenyon.  We visited with her sibling and It’s too isolated for her.  Macalester and Carleton/ St. Olaf appeal because they aren’t super urban, but are suburban (Mac) or cute town can shuttle into city. I visited these schools with her sibling (not her) and I think they are what she is going for.  But, we are going to wait until early fall to visit to give her the best view of campus possible.   In the meantime, spring break is getting he at Vasser, Hamilton, a tufts, Middlebury and seeing what she things. BC and NE seem like good compare and contrast things.

And yes, I’m overthinking. But this process was so much easier with kid 1.  This kid has a strong sense of what she wants. And translating “not Lax Bro feel” to virtual visit is tough. Hence hive mind.   Our ability to really get a good feel is limited. I was hoping for feedback.

But yes, hunting for SLACs during COVID is a mess.

And, it’s a lot of factors. But, I hate in when people post “smart kids, top scores, good grades and ECs, likes science”.   I did the SLAC search once. [/quote]
