I'm looking for some suggestions.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm sure there are probably 1000 threads similar to this one, but I did myself in a bit of a difficult situation in terms of looking for colleges. I would be interested in a school that is:</p>

<p>-Liberal arts oriented</p>

<p>-Preferably small or mid sized</p>

<p>-Located in the Northeast</p>

<p>-Perhaps similar to Wesleyan, Bates, etc, but less rigorous/ slightly easier to get into. Still a selective school, but maybe less hardcore in terms of admissions than schools like Wesleyan.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>Brandeis, Clark, Union… I know there are lots more…
Other criteria such as in a city or not? How do you define small and mid-sized</p>

<p>maybe Goucher, Juniata, McDaniel? [Colleges</a> That Change Lives | Changing Lives. One Student at a Time.](<a href=“http://www.ctcl.org/]Colleges”>http://www.ctcl.org/) has a lot of small liberal arts schools and you can sort them by location.</p>

<p>Hampshire, Connecticut College, Skidmore College, Muhlenberg College, and Wheaton College. It depends on the vibe you are looking for. You can easily plug this into the college search on CC and get a ton of results. If you like Wesleyan you should certainly look at Hampshire, Connecticut College, and Skidmore College. They are supposed to have similar student bodies and vibes. Good luck!</p>

<p>Hmmmmm, small LAC located in the NE. If only there was an invention where one could type a few words into a database and suggestions would magically come out on some kind of screen?</p>

<p>C’mon at least do the research and narrow it down to a few lkely candidates and then ask for further imput.</p>

<p>Agreed, even the search tool here on CC is useful as a starting point if you feed it enough data to get specific-enough recommendations.

<p>Not selective at all.</p>

<p>Drew University would fit the bill better.</p>

<p>GPA, SAT or ACT scores? EFC= Expected Family Contribution?</p>

<p>Run your EFC on the College Board website with your parents 2012 tax returns.
