[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bucknell is a tad smaller than the range you posted, but it checks most of your other boxes and is popular with sporty kids. Huge intramural sports scene. Most fraternities field teams, and freshmen (who can't rush until their second year) join teams with guys in their hall or classes. The alumni network is amazing, too. Most grads end up in lucrative jobs on The Street. Like at most LACs, demonstrated interest matters, especially for high stats kids, so he should definitely visit.[/quote]

How are women’s intramural sports? Similarly popular?

Also, how does Bucknell compare to Lehigh and Lafayette? I know they’re different sizes and in different parts of PA, but how about the vibe/culture? Do they all yield protect? How can we find that info more generally? (Which schools yield protect high stats kids) [/quote]

Women's IMs are popular, too. Sorry if I misread your OP or wrongly assumed your kid is male.

The three schools are peers. All offer engineering, which is rare for LACs. Bucknell has the strongest reputation in finance and on The Street, and probably the most name recognition outside the NE and Mid-Atlantic. Lehigh probably has the best engineering program of the three and ranks just below Bucknell in finance. Lafayette strikes me as the most liberal artsy.[/quote]
