[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is trying to pick safety schools and really only wants to go places where the students are focused and serious about their classes. She doesn’t want to go to a party/ very Greek school or a school where there is no enthusiasm or school spirit because it was the safety school for most people there. How do you find such a place?

I know I’m oversimplifying things and you can find dedicated students and partiers at ALL schools. She is nerdy and knows that at a huge state school there are focused, studious kids but thinks they’d be hard to find.

Any suggestions? (She has good grades/scores but can’t count on getting into her top schools.)[/quote]

You’d be surprised if ou look at SLACs with good merit. Small colleges are $$$$. Lots of kids will go a tier down to get the merit money and afford a small school. The kids ar Wooster were impressive and their med school admit rates are very strong. So, someone there is studying. [/quote]

My kid liked the environmental science offerings at Wooster and got a suprisingly generous  (given DC's good/not amazing stats) 50% merit offer (which I've heard several other kids got too).  A lot of LACs offer pretty amazing merit aid.[/quote]
