<p>I only browsed the thread quickly, so sorry if this has already been mentioned, but Rugg’s Recommendations on the Colleges has information about which colleges are most recommended for particular majors. The lists tend to be fairly long, so there are probably LOTS of LACs recommended for biology. It won’t help you differentiate among the recommended schools, but perhaps the absence of being on the list could help you weed out a few schools.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t use that list to * weed out* any school, but because of little known schools being * on Rugg’s choices* I might add a school.</p>

<p>I should probably have a similar attitude towards Reed.</p>

<p>Funny that you should use that comparison, I think they used to refer to Reed as the Parris Island of LACs. ( without the head shaving & I know who I would bet on in a tug of war- but for capture the flag?..)</p>
