<p>Although many of the colleges on the list now accept less than 50% of applicants this thread is great: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1299462-looking-beyond-rankings.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1299462-looking-beyond-rankings.html</a></p>
<p>The reality is, there are so many schools with incredibly unique programs that it’s hard to list them all. For instance, Emory houses Oxford College a two year LAC but it also plays host to a primate lab, multiple ecology opportunities, the Carter Center, an internship program with the CDC, etc. If you do have a special interest, you can post it here and maybe someone will suggest colleges which are extremely strong in the field.</p>
