[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids applied and got in. One attended, on didn’t.  Other school options were heavy on Midwestern LACs with merit.

Pitt (early yes was nice and the campus doesn’t seem as large as it is)
Kenyon
Oberlin
Wooster
St. Olaf
Macalaster 
Grinnell.

The kid who went to WM got in ED (her GPA was borderline).  The kid who didn’t got into all of the above with decent merit. [/quote]

We are OOS (midwest) but my dd is interested in W&M and looking at just about all these schools you mentioned. We are trying to keep tuition + room and board to 65K. So chasing OOS publics (our state flagship is not great) and SLACs with good merit. She is also looking at Whitman, but that would be far from home for you all. She is looking at UW and UMN as well - UW because of their programs (and it is driveable for us) and UMN because it has a smaller campus for her major and may "feel" smaller. We have not toured schools yet, though. [/quote]

Please be sure to visit Whitman before deciding to attend.  It is a great school.  But small and very isolated in Walla Walla.  Walla Walla is a fun town to visit for 2-3 days as a 21+ adult for wine tasting.  But it can get boring really really fast.  There is not much to do there outside of the college.  So just make certain you visit and really really like it.
