[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of good suggestions for SLACs, but it wasn't entirely clear to me from your post that she even wants an SLAC.  Just that she is interested because she thinks it would be easier to get into ED. Am I misunderstanding the priorities and thinking?

There are many reasons why someone would like a SLAC but is that what she wants or does she just think she is more likely to get in?[/quote]

Sorry for the late response.  OP here.  Little of both.  She likes the smaller atmosphere and also thinks it might be easier to get in given the ED rates for an Amherst or a Middlebury.  [/quote]

OP, as another poster mentioned, those ED rates are falsely inflated by the recruited athletes, URMs and legacies who are have a considerably higher chance of admission. Take those special cases out and an unhooked applicant has no better chance at admission than they would during RD.

With more B's than A's, Middlebury and Amherst are going to be tough.[/quote]

So focus on UVA and William and Mary?  William and Mary is smaller so probably a better fit.  [/quote]
