[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d group Swarthmore, Haverford and BM as one similar group (with BM being all women)- incredibly small, intense academics, students interested in a “life of the mind.” Dickinson could be a safety for this group. I’d next group Lehigh, lafayette, Bucknell (debatable whether to call Lehigh a LAC but I’d still group it with these others) with greek life dominating the social life and lots of well-rounded students (not as many rising PhD candidates but lots going onto law/med schools and jobs in finance). F&M and Gettysburg could be safeties for this group. I do not know much about the rest. [/quote]

This is a good start. The toughest to get into are Swarthmore, Haverford, and Lehigh.

I think seeing any more than two in a day is brutal.

If I were you, I'd come spend a night in Philly. See Swarthmore OR Haverford in the morning, and St. Joe's in the afternoon. St. Joe's is a very nice school, but it is not the preppy SLAC that some of these schools are. It would give you a true contrast to Swarth/Hav.

Then drive up to Allentown and knock off Lehigh and Lafayette the next day. If you are REALLY ambitious, maybe see Muhlenberg, but again, I think that's too much for one day.

If you are really into this, head northwest and see Bucknell and Gettysburg on the third day. After that, you should be brain-dead.

It's hard to tell you anything else unless we know what kind of kid you have. :) [/quote]

This is very good advice. [/quote]
