financial safeties, small LACs?

College Search & Selection

<p>So, up until recently I've been looking at Gettysburg college as my financial safety in terms of merit aid. However, I noticed that the school seems to be drastically less diverse than I feel comfortable with. Diversity isn't a huge issue, but I would like to find a nice balance. It would be really helpful if you guys recommended for me some schools that could be good financial safeties and have that small, intellectual, liberal arts college feel. </p>

<p>I'm also considering Scripps and Dickinson for possible merit scholarships. My stats are decent (3.68/4.33, 1540/2220) but not stellar. My parents are divorced and my dad has a higher income, so it would be really helpful if the college does not require the non-custodial parent forms. </p>

<p>Also, I'm interested in English, International Relations, Journalism, and study abroad. </p>

<p>Any recommendations? Thanks!</p>

<p>If you don't mind going cross-country...Sonoma State is really diverse and is only 6,000 students. :)</p>

<p>In fact, most California schools are pretty diverse. It's finding the small ones that gets tricky.</p>
