<p>Well, I have to admit that would be true at Rhodes and some other LACs as well. The intro bio courses are the largest sections we offer (about 60 students), but they’re each taught by 3 profs.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>I’d like my SAT’s to be about a 2000 and 700+ for subject tests.*</p>
<p>So, which schools would be reach, match, and safeties for this student?</p>
<p>ellie,
Take a look at U Richmond as a possible match. It’s small, great access to profs, drop dead gorgeous campus, strong business program, new facility for sciences, etc. Lots to like. </p>
<p>Plus the school is RICH, ie, they have great resources to continually improve their programs in the future. </p>
<p>Topping it all off is their President is terrific and committed to making U Richmond a much more prominent place on the American college scene. This is very much a school on the rise.</p>
<p>A match/safety might be Denison University in Ohio. Lovely campus, lots of personal attention.</p>

<pre><code>A more urban setting with small classes, lots going on around the city is Occidental College in Los Angeles. Quirkier than Denison, which has a more traditional/preppy student body.

<p>Look at Clemson University (where I go to school). Here’s why:</p>
<p>You’ll definitely get in.</p>
<p>Small Classes - with the exception of two 100 person lectures, the other 7 of my classes were fewer than 40 students. </p>
<p>Accessible Professors - All professors have office hours where they love to talk to you about anything and help you with whatever you need help with. If you don’t understand something, they’ll explain it to you.</p>
<p>Broad/Liberal Curriculum - We have a general education curriculum (like most schools) that requires you to take classes in many different fields.</p>
<p>Learning Support Center - We have an Academic Success Center that offers free tutoring, supplemental instruction (sessions outside of class where someone who’s taken the class before and gotten an A provides extra help sessions)</p>
<p>Good internships - We were ranked #3 last year by the Princeton Review for best career/job placement in the US. I’m an engineering major and most of the people older than me in my department are working at internships or have 3 semesters on average of experience before graduating.</p>
<p>Good social life - Greek life is popular here but if you’re not into that, we have over 300 clubs to participate in.</p>
<p>Clemson is strong in the sciences/engineering so it’d definitely be a fit for you! Let me know if you have any questions!</p>
<p>For a safety (definite safety), take a look at Randolph College in Lynchburg, VA. It only has 500-600 students & classes are usually about 12 students, and a lot are smaller. Tons of support & close relationships with professors in a liberal arts college. Although it is officially a “dry campus,” plenty of partying goes on, and although there is no Greek life, it is more like the entire college is one big sorority. There are a bunch of traditions and it seemed like a tight knit community of quirky friends. The other big thing is that there are a ton of international students & I think they give good aid to internationals. Most represented are Nepal and Jamaica. Just another place to think about.</p>
<p>thanks all 
i’ve started checking them out !</p>
