[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think these are all likely places my strong in science and math child will apply. They love history too. Any thoughts or experience with science post-grad outcomes and which might be better for a well rounded but analytically gifted sort of student? 
Appreciate positive comments, please.[/quote]

Kenyon College is probably not a good match for one interested in science.

Oberlin College is more about fitting in with the campus culture (fairly extreme) and--according to some curent Oberlin athletes--there is a social divide between athletes and non-athletes.

Macalester offers an unusual setting for an LAC.

Have you considered Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania ? Under 1,200 students but sends an unusually high percentage of students to medical schools.

Carleton College would be another to consider.

Not an LAC, but Washington University in St. Louis is a great choice for one interested in science (biology, chemistry, bio-chem, neuroscience).

Is that stat about Washington and Jefferson current? I live about 45 minutes from the school and it is not a desirable school for students - especially those who aspire to go to med school.
