[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colorado College, Kenyon, Macalester[/quote] Yeah, and if they don't work for you and you are looking for schools a little larger you can always try Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.[/quote] Ha, I looked at this thread for my truly average kid and fell out of my chair, Kenyon for average student, ha, ha. But one thing I do want to point out is that the admission rate when you get to the 35-70 range are not a great indicator of competitiveness. University of Georgia I thought would be a great choice for DD since the acceptance rate is 53% --- but the average SATs is 1344 and GPA in core classes GPA of over 4.0 - not average to me. Compare this to University of Tampa with an acceptance rate of 43% but SATs of 1130 and total weighted GPA of 3.4. The admit % can be distorted a bit, make sure you look at the whole picture. BTW, I am not sure my average DD can get into either of those two -- I was just pointing out the numbers. [/quote]
