Consider Mount Holyoke as another target, it’s strong in science

OP here. No, that list is very obviously not a safety, 2 targets and 2 reaches. I am asking for safeties.

Need some safeties for my Dd (current junior) in NOVA. On our list now are Dickinson, Kenyon, Bowdoin, Amherst, etc
Didn’t say their list wasn’t safeties either just to be clear.

OP said that is only counting 1 completed AP which is watered down by all her regular classes over the years. With 4 APs this year should be around 4.2

Not sure what PP is talking about. Recommended SLAC’s are known for science.

Why have a bunch of random LACs on your list event looking for STEM. Many better options out there.

Consider Juniata (in PA) and College of Wooster (in Ohio).
