[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD just rejected an excellent school (highly selective) for ED with coach's support because it had an atmosphere of hypercompetitive kids with rich parents.  So made me wonder ... what small to midsize colleges with good science & liberal arts programs are there that don't have the competitiveness? Public or Private schools preferably D3.[/quote]

I think your problem is your daughter's stereotypes, not the schools themselves.  Any decent size school is going to have communities that welcome all types of students.

[b]The proposed solution to go to a mediocre school in an undesirable location to avoid "wealthy" people is beyond ridiculous[/b].[/quote]

Worth it to avoid folks ike you[/quote]

Ok, your child should be happy with their mediocre, non competitive career then, but hey, she'll always have soccer.[/quote]

:lol:

All of the schools named feed into top notch grad schools.  I guess if your kid is just getting a BA/BS and not going to grad school then it matters a lot where they do it.  If you are headed for a profession, then not so much.
