Another former Mawrtyr pushing a visit to the Main Line. And even if you can't get an official tour, you could also hit Haverford, Villanova and Cabrini at the same time at least for a quick wander-around session.

With those stats, might want to consider U Del.

Dickinson, Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette.

In VA you can try U of Richmond. In MD you can try St Marys College (not Mt St Marys).

Bryn Mawr--a stretch, but possible, with good grades and OK SATs.

Haverford and Swarthmore are going to be tough with less than stellar everything...

Pitt, CMU, Allegheny, Penn State, Villanova, St Joe's. But really go to collegeboard.com and run a search with PA in your search criteria.

Bucknell? I graduated from there in 1994. I know it has changed a lot since then, but it is a beautiful campus and I had a great time there. Dickinson is also nice.

We wanted to go to Ursinus or Drexel, but neither one has a tour available this weekend. If you have anywhere else to suggest, we would appreciate it. We prefer Pennsylvania at this point. My DD is undecided about a major, but is an excellent student with high GPA and OK, but not stellar, SAT scores. All ideas appreciated! Thanks in advance!
