[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think schools like Dickinson and Skidmore fit this description, though they’re still fairly tough admissions (but attainable for solid students). Your student’s options will really depend on GPA as there are a range of colleges for smart and curious students that don’t want a cut-throat environment.[/quote] This has been similar to my dc's experience at F&M too.[/quote] Also for our kid at Skidmore. (Had 3.95 GPA, 1510 SAT, totally allergic to application-padding activities in high school.) Skidmore had a great tour with friendly student guides, and impressed my kid with how many students had double majors or minors in disparate fields (like, biology & history; chemistry & theater; neuroscience & music) and still had time for extracurriculars. It's been good so far, and they're in a lab doing research with a prof that might end up in a published paper.[/quote]
