[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Op- Thanks for the detailed and very helpful insight! Did your DC apply to Brown ED? Stats similar to my DD’s or higher? [/quote]

Yes, he did apply ED. White male, unhooked, majoring in engineering. We realize he got very lucky, but he was also in the top 5% of a very competitive private school in a heavily underrepresented state (Appalachian area where few kids apply out of state). He had a 4.0 UW, 35 ACT and great ECs. I think you have some great suggestions here, I particularly like the poster who suggested Tufts, Wesleyan, Vassar, Oberlin, Rochester. I’ve visited all and agree these have a similar vibe/feel.[/quote]

DD looked at Wes, Vassar, Oberlin and Brandeis. Attends one of those. We looked at Case Western and hated it. It was so different than the other schools. Their info session focused on outcomes after college - no talk about the love of learning or liberal arts. Absolutely joyless. Seemed like a grinder school. We walked out early, so maybe the tour was better.[/quote]
