[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my junior daughter as we make lists to visit this spring:

-assume competitive for all schools, realizing that list will need to be balanced (we've been through this twice before with older kids) 
-Pre med, likely majoring in data science, math, neuroscience, biology, etc depending on the school but likes the idea of a liberal arts core. 
-Friendly, happy kids who want community.
-Great relationships with professors, small lectures, lots of discussion. 
-Size small to medium (2-10K or so)
-Kid is very mainstream in style/interests but doesn't want overwhelmingly preppy but neither do they want super artsy/LGBTQ etc.  A total mix would be great. 
-racial mix would be great.
-not a drinker/partier but does like dressing up for an occasional party and loves doing things and going out at night. 
-prefers campus where greek life is either small or super inclusive. Does not want greek life rush stress. 
-relatively gender balanced.

Ok, any thoughts? [/quote]

NP - our DD has a similar profile, and wanted much of what you describe. She's headed to Carleton next year. Other schools that ended up high on her list after visiting included Amherst, Middlebury, and Tufts, but she ended up choosing to ED to Carleton. We were just visiting with a family friend who is a recent grad and was a bio major (now in her second year at her top-choice med school) and she mentioned that despite the high rigor of the pre-med track there, the climate always felt collaborative and supportive to her rather than competitive. This was nice to hear. [/quote]
