Randolph-Macon for a likely

First thought is W&M especially if you are in-state. Davidson and Emory might be too preppy but worth a look. Add Notre Dame.

Pitt rolling
Case EA
Elon EA
W&M
Davidson
Middlebury
Lehigh
Dickinson
Brown
Amherst
Yale

(look for schools with ample grade inflation)

Not the OP, but can you shed some light on this? What makes Case kids unhappy? Too competitive? Location? Something else. We just visited and really couldn’t get a sense of the kids there.

Notre Dame

Emory seems like a slam dunk for this kid.

Skidmore seems super artsy/LGBTQ to me.

This is essentially my pre-med DS's exact list.

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?
