[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMALL Liberal Arts colleges are even more selective than they appear - especially in NESCAC - because 1/3 or more of their slots are given away to athletes before they even get to the regular pool. Throw other hooks into the mix and the # of slots left for other kids decreases even more. My GD with a perfect 36 ACT, straight A’s, and good ECs was waitlisted at both Williams & Amherst although she did get into other NESCACs - Middlebury, Colby, Wesleyan, and Tufts. The larger the enrollment, then the significance of the number of athletes and hooks becomes - although still a factor. In light of that I would encourage the OP to look at the largest NESCACs, Wesleyan and also Tufts, which is still a liberal arts college at its core. Both are excellent for STEM. Like Tufts, Wesleyan even offers doctoral programs in Math and the sciences.[/quote] Edited for a couple of typos. :oops: [/quote]
