[quote=Anonymous]Y'all, regardless of the specific schools, if someone says "School X is my target school, and I'm looking for schools that accept a greater percentage of applicants" … you aren't helping if you give a list of schools that are harder to get into than School B. (lol Pomona)

OP, I recommend using College Navigator. [url=https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?s=AK+CA+CO+CT+DE+DC+HI+IL+IN+ME+MD+MA+MI+MN+NV+NH+NJ+NY+OH+OR+PA+RI+VT+VA+WA+WI&en=2000&ex=10000&an=40&tv=620&tm=620]Here[url]'s a pre-filled search for you that targets schools between 2,000 and 10,000 students, in blue/purple states, where the 25th percentile SAT was over 620 for each of the two sections. It lists 17 schools:

American University
[b]Bard College[/b]
Bentley University
Chapman University
Colorado School of Mines
Fairfield University
Pepperdine University
Providence College
[b]Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute[/b]
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Santa Clara University
St. Lawrence University
[b]St. Olaf College[/b]
Stevens Institute of Technology
Touro University
[b]Union College[/b]
Yeshiva University

The [b]bold[/b] names above all get 4 stars (out of 5) from Fiske for academics.

You can play with the search settings at College Navigator to specify majors, or change the SAT range, or the range of student body size or whatever. Ignore the ranking/prestige lists everyone here is obsessed with, and take a look at the fundamentals (vibe, majors, personality) that make up the schools in question, to see how they compare with the schools already on your list.[/quote]
