[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago for sure.

Oberlin for small liberal arts undergrad. [/quote]

Oberlin?  Sorry, no.  Carleton and Grinnell.[/quote]

Carleton?  Great school, but sorry, too cold.  Former Minnesotan here.  [b]I prefer Oberlin.[/b]  [/quote]

Well, other's don't.

Oberlin: 28 percent acceptance rate; 1250-1450 SAT; 29-33 ACT
Grinnell:  20 percent acceptance rate; 1320-1530; 30-33 ACT
Carleton:  22 percent acceptance rate; 1320-1540; 31-33 ACT

Both Grinnell and Carleton are significantly more selective than Oberlin[/quote]

Oberlin has a world-class conservatory.  Relatively small number of conservatory students double major in the college (of arts and sciences) because the conservatory students generally have lower stats than the college (of arts of sciences) students do.  I believe Oberlin's relatively lower stats (compared to Grinnell and Carleton) reflect the mix of both the college and the conservatory students.  [/quote]
