Sounds awfully familiar.  Some liberal arts colleges are top producers of science PhDs.  They are great as long as you aren’t looking for engineering.

Try:
Vassar
Wesleyan
Oberlin, 
Kenyon
Wooster (strong safety)
Grinnell
Macalaster
Carleton
St. Olaf (great safety for that profile)
Bowdoin ( it’s a reach. So is Williams)
Maybe Bates

Not SLAC, but also try: Case, Rochester, W&M, Pitt for rolling decision (a yes from a school in December is really nice)

Most of these schools are easier for boys to get into than girls.  Because the applicant pool is skewed

[b]You probably want to skip the sports amd prep school heavy ones like:
Hamilton
Colgate
Union
Middlebury
Colby
Williams
Union
Denison
Washington & Lee[/b][/quote]

This list is super helpful - my child is similar to OP's .

Would anyone have input on how west coast schools fit into this breakdown.... for example the Claremont colleges (Pomona, Claremont-Mckenna, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, Pitzer) but others too.

Also - how would schools like Princeton, Harvard, Stanford fit for students like this?

(Note - we are very early in this process and plan to create a broad list - but DS will probably want to apply to some highly competitive as well, so it'd be good to craft those carefully)  [/quote]

I would just say as a quirky Midd grad, don’t pass these off too quickly![/quote]
