[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I think what DC included Colgate not because of the social scene (Greek life, of which there is little interest) but size of school, what the campus looks like, class size, professors, etc.

I think the final list will morph as time goes on. We are not Va residents but W&M will be on the list or mid-sized schools. Maybe Tufts?

I foresee Colgate, Conn College, and Furman dropping off the list, but I could be wrong. Kenyon is a good one for DC to check out. [/quote]

Parent of the Vassar junior back here, OP. Kenyon was on DC's list as well. Had a great visit there -- see if you can go on the fall day when they host student panels, faculty panels, special (interest-based) tours, etc. etc. Many colleges have these (we did them at Oberlin, Bard and Sarah Lawrence too). [u]You have to sign up in advance[/u] and these days do fill up but are well worth it as your student will see a LOT more and get to talk to admissions officers, students, etc. Yes, these days are definitely designed to sell the schools to prospective applicants! But they're worthwhile, or were for DC and for us parents too. I should note-- these are NOT "accepted student days" which are for those already accepted and usually are in spring of senior HS year for the student. These are for students who haven't yet applied and who frankly manage to get into the limited space. I'm sure colleges stopped these due to Covid but we'll see if they do them again this fall. Huge help for us seeing the four schools where we did them. And yes, if Kenyon goes on the list as a contender, visit, because the location can be a plus or a minus depending on the student.
