In love with Tufts but very far out of my reach

3 colleges that I absolutely love are Vassar, Tufts and Wesleyan
(Tufts for its community and I also love Boston so much)
My gpa is a 90.3 and my sat score currently is 1330 but I’m taking it again
I take IB Art, IB Bio and IB Film
All of these schools are reaches so I’m still looking for ones that are more attainable
Looking for one with a strong artistic community
Relative closeness to a major city, or a cute town (with strong arts and music scene)
Strong in science and computer science
And have a campus that isn’t actually IN a city
I’m still applying even though I’m pretty sure I won’t get in and doing ED for Tufts but would love some recommendations for other schools that are more safe

You should definitely look at Skidmore.

For a traditional campus in proximity to Boston, look into Wheaton.

Do you know if Wheaton is very religious?

You’re probably thinking of Wheaton in Illinois. The recommendation above refers to the nonsectarian Wheaton in Massachusetts. I didn’t specifically mention its visual arts programs, but I think you’d find them appealing.

For a school similar in some ways to Wesleyan, research Connecticut College.

Seconding Skidmore.

I wound check out Rochester and Case. Still reaches but not as much. Maybe Oberlin?

Look at Bard as well.

Look at SUNY New Paltz as well.

I’ll second Bard for your interests. You might like Macalester. If you are female, Bryn Mawr.
