<p>^ I think this one is tough.
Some people suggest Penn or Dartmouth, neither really less selective.</p>
<p>If looking on the West Coast, would anyone agree that Willamette might be a less selective CMC alternative? Forget the weather part and work with me here — Focus on internships, etc.?</p>
<p>i have never heard of willamette until right now. Despite being in Salem, its a pretty nice school.</p>
<p>Any for Reed?</p>
<p>Reed…Earlham?</p>
<p>I’d say Swarthmore for Reed.</p>
<p>And Earlham? Wow that’s a toughie…Denison?</p>
<p>Earlham and Denison are a lot alike. I’m not sure either is more or less selective without checking the CDS.</p>
<p>I’d say Bard, Swarthmore, or University of Chicago for Reed. Maybe St. John’s or Sewanee on the less competitive end?</p>
<p>If you like UCSB, you will also like ???</p>
<p>Yes, but Swarthmore is more selective than Reed. I think what most people are looking for is a less selective school as an alternative. I was going to suggest Bard, too.</p>
<p>For a woman, Bryn Mawr might be a Reed alternative, come to think of it.</p>
<p>@ RML</p>
<p>UCSB > Pepperdine > UCSC</p>
<p>If you like Yale you’ll like Hogwarts.</p>
<p>I was suggesting Earlham as an easier-to-get-into alternative to Reed.</p>

<p>This one needs a LOT of work. NYU and Case Western are nothing like Northwestern. I can’t speak to Carnegie-Mellon.</p>
<p>If you like Northwestern, you’ll like: Penn, Cornell, Tufts, Michigan, possibly Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d agree I don’t see NYU, CMU, CWRU or, for that matter, Tufts.</p>
<p>If you like Northwestern you’d like:</p>
<p>Duke, Stanford, Penn, Vanderbilt, Wash U, Cornell</p>
<p>How about if you like Georgetown, you’ll like…?</p>
