<p>Don’t know anything about New College, but the other four are all great schools. Son, a likely English major, visited and looked closely at the other four, and chose Carleton. One thing he’s learned that might not be emphasized enough is that Carleton is HARD. Both the amount and difficulty of the work is staggering. And this is from a kid who worked non-stop during high school. Loves it nonetheless. I’ve heard Grinnell is also academically rigorous.</p>
<p>Agree that if you’re this torn this late, EA at Colorado would be a great option; you can apply RD to the others and take a closer look before making a final choice.</p>
