Colleges without a lot of core requirements....

<p>Hi Everyone. I wonder if you can help me with D2. She is currently a Junior and we are beginning the college search. We are trying to come up with some schools that aren't "heavy" in the requirements area. It seems as though Skidmore and U of Rochester fit the bill (and will be in the "reach" catagory, if she likes them). Any others you can think of off hand? I know about Brown, but we are looking at schools that are reasonable for a B or B+ student to get into. SAT's won't be stellar, perhaps between 1700-1800 and she is not planning on taking the SAT II's. Also, she doesn't want a school that is larger than about 8,000, prefers a 2,500-3,500 student poputlation. Unsure as to what she wants to study. Easy going great kid, wants to learn, but wants to have a good time, too! Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Hampshire
Evergreen (on the west coast)
Vassar</p>

<p>There's more, but that's all I can think of. Most schools don't have core requirements, and distribution requirements actually aren't that hard to fulfill, so there's lots of schools to choose from.</p>

<p>Warblersrule86 - thanks for your suggestions. Hampshire too "tree hugging" (I transfered out after my first semester!), Vassar too hard. I will look at Evergreen though!</p>

<p>david218-Wesleyan is way too hard to get into!</p>

<p>o sorry! i didnt even look at your post, just the title :( ill do a little research and come up with a few later</p>

<p>What does she want to study? That would be an important piece of information to know.</p>

<p>Bard, Goucher, Hamilton, Beloit might work... You will get tree hugging at the open curriculum schools, though I agree Hampshire is still out on the edge. Is Bennington too much like Hampshire?</p>

<p>Hendrix and Earlham are in the zone but I am not sure about the curriculum requirements. Also Muhlenberg, Gettysburg, Lafayette...</p>

<p>Aren't Wesleyan and Rochester roughly the same hard to get into profile?</p>
