[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks you have no clue - Bucknell for instance, is ranked exactly the same as Richmond and has very close acceptance rate.   Same for Lehigh althohg you really inly go to Lehigh for engineering.   Im guessing Sewanee isn't far off either.  [/quote]

Bucknell's acceptance rate is slightly higher than Richmond, and has slightly lower average SATs.  Also, compared to other SLAC's they are not more selective for girls.  Nor is Lehigh.  So if OP's DD is competitive for UofR, but not certain, they are good alternatives.  OP didn't ask for safeties.[/quote]

[b]Bucknell accept rate is mid-to-high teens just like Richmond. It’s almost identical admissions-wise unless you are applying to Bucknell’s engineering school which is low-teens. Kids who don’t get into Richmond don’t get in to Bucknell. They are listed and ranked together in most writings.[/b] [/quote]

No, it is not in the mid-teens.  https://www.bucknell.edu/sites/default/files/institutional-research/Admissions_21-22.pdf[/quote]

Exactly!!. Great school for sure but acceptance rate in mid 30’s not mid-teens[/quote]
