Our D also interested in CTCL schools, and turned off by preppy/fratty vibe (though she is a jock). We’ve visited three CTCL schools accessible to the Northeast. She found Goucher and Guilford too extreme in the other direction (“crunchy”, in her parlance), but McDaniel more in her comfort zone. She’s interested in science also, but we’re unsure how to compare the strengths of undergrad programs. She doesn’t want to go to med school, so the common metric of med school acceptance rates is not of interest to us. Are you going to the Tyson’s Corner CTCL event, by chance?
