[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC only wanted to apply to small schools too. It was really important to have at least one larger school that would accept more students on the list. There just are not enough spaces at these tiny colleges, and there isn't a lot of predictability in how they select their classes.  W&M was a good suggestion by a PP -- bigger but not huge.[/quote]

I was the PP who suggested Wm & Mary.

[b]Are you familiar with honors colleges at large state universities ?[/b] Basic idea is to create a small school within the setting of a large university. Important if seeking merit grant scholarship money.

Also encourage your son or daughter to look at small colleges within a specific university.  The School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) at Northwestern University might be of interest. Students at Northwestern can major in another college within the university. Easy to switch schools if the student desires to do so.

Will your daughter or son be comfortable in a very cold, rural, isolated environment ? Is your student okay with old run-down towns ? May not seem important now, but spending 4 academic years at a small, cold, rural, isolated LAC in an  undesirable location should be taken in consideration when selecting schools.

Colby, Bowdoin, Tufts, William & Mary, are all solid schools. Davidson College (about 1,800 students) in North Carolina has a beautiful setting, nice weather, and outstanding academics.

Lots of merit scholarship grants available at large state public universities' honors colleges (essentially a small college set within a large university which gives a student the best of both worlds).

Could you name a few of these that are successful at creating a smaller community using this method? [/quote]
