[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Another (happy) Denisonian parent here. I think it depends on the sex of the applicant. My DS was awarded 26k in merit with a 3.55/ 30 ACT, my DD a year later was awarded 20k with a 4.0 UW and a 1550 SAT. At some level I think my daughters stats hurt her and it has become more selective but if OP's child is s DS I think they have shot. The boys do much better.[/quote]

Your daughters credentials/award just ruined my night. So much for the Denison safety! :-([/quote]
