[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a somewhat similar kid, also a HS junior but probably more sporty, and he liked Swathmore and Wesleyan on a recent swing through the northeastern LACs. Obviously odds are better at Wesleyan. Fwiw I wouldn't sweat the athlete/non-athlete divide too much unless it's a pain point for your DS himself. I have an older kid at one of the Maine SLACs and I've read stuff here about how terrible it is to be a non-athlete at one of those schools. He has had a fantastic 3.5 years, has many friends, actually got into playing club sports after studiously avoiding sports but isn't part of any team culture at all. I understand why parents worry about this stuff, but I think these schools are so small that the kids have wide interactions and there's less pigeonholing by sport than at a large school with an intense athletic program.[/quote]
