Balance Between LAC and Research

<p>Hello! I was wondering if you guys could suggest some traditional well known research universities, that have a more LAC feel (with smaller class sizes, undergrad focus). </p>

<p>Thank you in advanced! </p>

<p>could you help us out by giving us some stats, some regions, etc.?</p>

<p>Tufts, Brandeis, Tulane, WashU, Rochester, Bucknell, Emory, Duke, Miami, Northwestern, RPI, Vandy, Princeton, and a number of good honors colleges like those at Alabama, South Carolina, Michigan, UT, and UVA. </p>

<p>Thank you for your response, My stats are 4.4 GPA, 34 ACT. I love the west coast, but would be fine anywhere. as long as it is a suburban/ urbanish area. </p>

<p>so all of those schools will work except Bucknell. If you love the west coast, I think of the Claremont consortium as a a research uni with lots of LAC opps because quite a bit of good research goes on at the Claremonts as a whole. </p>

<p>How about money? have you run the net price calculators and talked to your parents about how much they can contribute?</p>

<p>btw, I like your thinking about college opportunities. a research uni that looks out for its u/gs as much as its grad students is a really nice mix. </p>

<p>I would add Rice to jkeil’s list</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd?</p>
