What colleges are still accepting applications?

As others have mentioned, you have some great admittances. I would thoroughly research the universities again, looking at all the special opportunities that each of them would provide you. Remember why you applied to them in the first place!

If, however, you have come to the realization that they are not for you, I am going to assume that your issue is the size of the universities, even though there are ways to make a big university feel smaller (living learning communities where you take multiple classes together, honors colleges, smaller colleges w/in the university or having a smaller major, etc).

Below is a list of universities that seem to still be accepting applications, if they have space available. I verified about half the list, but didn’t check on the other half.

Schools with CTCL by them are part of the Colleges That Change Lives.

Realize that a number of schools that are still accepting applications have already had their deadlines for merit aid pass, or at least priority deadlines pass. If you are in need of financial aid to pay for these, you will be getting the remaining dregs.

Yesterday there was someone who was looking for more colleges like Villanova, and this post I did might have helpful suggestions (some of which you’ll see repeated below). Creighton, Loyola Chicago, Valparaiso, and Xavier had the most repeats from those lists (bolded below), while Belmont, U. of Scranton, and U. of the Pacific were also mentioned (italicized below).

Also, @blossom has had some very positive words about Otterbein and Truman State, if I recall correctly.
