Any suggestions for schools that might fall into the match/saftey category?

<p>Based on your SATs and GPA, the women's colleges (Smith, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke) should all be fairly safe bets with decent ECs and a solid application package. </p>
<p>Brown, Swarthmore, and Williams are not sure bets for anybody. Your test scores and GPA would get you above the threshold for consideration, but we'd have to have more information to even hazard a guess.</p>
<p>Vassar is somewhere in between the women's colleges and those three as far as admissions. It's probably a pretty solid match for you.</p>
<p>I'd have to do a little research, but my gut tells me that an "education" oriented application would probably be attractive to most, if not all, of the schools with education departments -- especially if you can back it up with some hands-on teaching/tutoring community service work.</p>

<p>BTW, here's an article from the Swarthmore Phoenix that may interest you. It's about educator Herbert Kohl, who was this year's Eugene Lang Visiting Professor for Issues of Social Change:</p>
<p>Eugene Lang '38, who funded this annual visiting professorship (along with just about everything else at Swarthmore), himself has an interesting history with inner city education.</p>
