[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pitt (already admitted), WM (in state), Vassar, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Bates, Carleton, St. Olaf, Oberlin, Kenyon

34 ACT (36 verbal, 32 STEM), 10APs, 4.1w GPA (has 2 B-s from COVID shutdown in 10th, all As and 1 B besides that in 10th through 12th, thus far).

Considering Vassar and Bates ED1, ED2[/quote]

Good list, but curious why it doesn't include Grinnell.  [/quote]

This is my kid. Visited Grinnell with her older sister and just thinks it’s too remote.  (I personally think it would be great).   Wants less than an hour from a major city.  Vassar is a train ride to NYC (more than an hour, but the train is a draw), Oberlin has Cleveland; St. Olaf and Carleton have the Twin Cities: Bowdoin and Bates have Portland. Etc.  Os only applying to Kenyon because that’s where her sister goes.

Is also applying in IR and music, which isn’t as strong for Grinnell as STEM is. [/quote]

If they are looking at Carleton and St. Olaf, why not Macalester?  It's an awesome school not just nearby but IN the twin cities...really impressive students and alums.  Great vibe. Cute neighborhood.  [/quote]
