[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bates, Davidson, Macalester are not equal. Macalester is a great school but significantly less competitive (although perhaps that's changing.) I've got a kid at Bates, and love the school, but given the cost breakdown (and rankings, weather) I'd pick Davidson. [/quote]

+1  I say Davidson as well.  I also have a kid at Bates and they love it (and we love it for them).  They are one of those seemingly rare kids who loves the cold but Maine winters aren't for everyone.  Yes, UT will be more diverse (racially and socio-economically), but I still think that she will feel welcome at Davidson.  Plus, she will get a lot of attention in a SLAC environment.   If she's interested in data science, there will be plenty of opportunities for summer internships in Charlotte (particularly if she has any interest in banking).  However, if she does consider Bates, she won't have any problems finding a job.  There are plenty of jobs on campus.  My kid has one and really likes it and has gotten to know most of the professors in their department as a result.   [/quote]
