[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you haven't given us your kid's stats to know where her reach/target/safety range might fall. But looking at the list of top-50 SLACs (taking out the military academies & women's colleges), some with a reputation of being non-cutthroat but still academically respectful include: Pomona, Carleton (some find its trimester system challenging), Grinnell, Wesleyan, Davidson, Vassar, Haverford, Bates, Macalester, Berea, Lafayette, Occidental, Skidmore, Denison, Kenyon, Pitzer, Connecticut, and Whitman. And several ranked lower than 50 are great, too, and may give decent merit aid. Is there a part of the country she's hoping for? Is she interested in Greek life? Club sports, or more artsy things like theater? [/quote] Between my two kids, they applied to nine of these. One attends one of these, and the other another school in this thread.They were looking for (and found) academically rigorous schools that didn’t have a cutthroat vibe.[/quote]
