[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t consider Davidson or Dartmouth to be low-key schools (admissions alone to both is quite cut-throat). Someone recently posted asking for SLACs with a supportive/mellow vibe. That thread may be more along the lines of what your child is after. Link below. What other applications have already been made and what area of study interests your child? https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1165913.page[/quote] OP: Thank you. Unfortunately this list is mostly not SLACs but second tier schools. I liked the suggestion of Smith College above (I'm actually an alum and think it is exactly the right speed - excellent classes but not stressful) but DC is not interested in a women's college.[/quote] Hmm. Most on that linked list — Bard, Vassar, Union, Franklin & Marshall, Kenyon, Bucknell, Lafayette, and Haverford — are SLACs, and if you think Vassar and Haverford are "second tier," what is your cutoff for what you'd accept? Top-10 SLACs like Amherst won't be any less stressful than top universities, though.[/quote]
