[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate this conversation about open curricula. To clear things up first, DC is not interested in this path to avoid either math or writing — the opposite, in fact. They do just fine in both disciplines and are having a hard time with the constraints of having to fit their academic curiosity into the parameters of a major. One thing they know is that engineering likely is not the path for them. And, they have brought up Brown, so mention of that school also is not off the mark. But we are being realistic about admissions — hence the question about building a balanced list and finding schools where acceptance is more reliable. Wesleyan is a school we had briefly considered but not in depth. We are exploring it more thoroughly now and will add it to our “to visit” list. Thanks for the resounding suggestion of that and other open curriculum schools! Thanks again for this discussion—I appreciate it![/quote] If you are going to visit Wesleyan, you might want to visit Vassar as well (it's about 2 hours away). The schools have many academic similarities (including mostly open curriculum), but different campus vibes, and students usually prefer one or the other. [/quote]
