I’m quite biased, but The College of Wooster is great for students interested in science and fits the bill for your child socially. There are many students in the Class of 2019 going into science fields this year which may or may not be related to the new science building that is under construction. Additionally, Wooster is branded as “the premier college for mentored undergraduate research” and is often associated with Princeton in that regard. Grad schools and employers alike are very impressed with the research that students do as part of their Independent Study.
Kalamazoo College may also be a good fit for your child; an admissions rep told me that chemistry was their most popular major this year. I got to walk through a lab that was going on and it seemed very hands on and group oriented. They also have an “independent study” type research project as part of the K Plan.
