[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP: It would also be helpful if you specify whether "STEM" for your daughter means "science" or "engineering" or "math" or some specific combo of those. STEM is so broad-brushy, it can lead to bad recommendations as people see it with their own preferred lens.[/quote]

She has always loved any kind of science or math. She is honestly not yet "pointy" enough to be more committed to a particular topic than this.[/quote]

I'd strongly recommend touring a few LACs and seeing if any strike a chord. There are the WASP ones, but if you're trying to move away from the hypercompetitive grind, there are a bunch of others that could be good, like Davidson or Carleton or Grinnell. I also like St. Olaf a lot, and recommend visits to Northfield early in the process if possible.

As you're in MD, you might also take a look at St. Mary's, which does well (as do the others I mentioned) on lists like this one: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-phd-programs#biological-sciences[/quote]
