[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smaller schools in urban areas to consider:

Sarah Lawrence
Occidental
Brandeis 
University of San Francisco (high chance for merit)
[b]College of Charleston (good chance of merit)[/b]

Ridiculous recommendation. Only 6% of incoming class has a 1400-1600. 
Why would a 1550 kid want to be surrounded by peers who never saw a single AP class?!!!

Love your friendly supportive response. Ugh. The anonymous aspect of this board brings out the absolute worst in people.

I added it because their honors dorm and honors program is actually worth considering as a safety school. Our son had similar stats, won large scholarship and went down for a visit. He and my husband were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the honors students, the  professors, and interesting internship/research possibilities. Very friendly, engaged, but not competitive cut-throat student community.The bigger downside of this suggestion is the southern location but it is a campus in middle of a smaller city so I tossed it in as a possible option.

University of San Francisco is also going to be a very easy safety on this list but their location is fantastic, the students are friendly, the Jesuit approach to education and social justice work is excellent. It may be hard to believe but some high stats kids don't need or thrive in an environment surrounded by competitive, depressed, or burnt out kids. [/quote]
