If I liked Yale, I should also look into...

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Yale attracted me because of it's sense of community (residential colleges), relatively middle sized population, the gorgeous campus, and diversity in terms of majors and people. I want to major in biology, but would rather not go to a science oriented school because I want to have a good, if not great background in the humanities too. New Haven in general was also pretty nice (I like cities).</p>

<p>So, any opinions?</p>

2

<p>Williams (rural location may be a negative though), Brown, Georgetown, WashU-St. Louis are soem that come to mind. maybe Princeton(?)</p>

3

<p>princeton's got everything you're looking for but the urban setting. it is, however, just an hour away from NYC and philly, both of which most find preferable to new haven.</p>

4

<p>yeah, definitely princeton. I guess also Harvard. UPenn is also surprisingly beautiful.</p>

5

<p>Duke, Hopkins,Northwestern, UChicago.</p>

6

<p>Rice !</p>

7

<p>How about some easier-to-get into schools with admit rates of around 30%+?</p>

8

<p>UChicago or Johns Hopkins if you like Baltimore.</p>

9

<p>Boston College, maybe?</p>

10

<p>nerdatheart, are you my twin?</p>

11

<p>Duke, Princeton, Dartmouth are all reaches but sort of similar</p>

12

<p>For the urban larger school feel, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, Penn. For the gentlemanly, somewhat liberal intellectual environment with a sense of community, Princeton, Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan.</p>

<p>consider Swarthmore</p>

16

<p>William and Mary. About the same size undergraduate population as Yale. Small university with LAC feel.</p>

<p>UPenn is amazingly beautiful with a great campus inside a great city. If you liked Yale, check out Georgetown and Duke. Also, you should look at Tufts - although it's not in a city, it's 5 minutes away from Boston but it's a great school. If you want to move a little more west, try Washington University in St. Louis - it's known for its research in science but is gaining in reputation in other areas. Check it out.</p>
