<p>I'm looking for LACs with strong math departments. They shouldn't be too competitive, as I am an international student with considerable financial need and I still need some schools where I actually have a chance being admitted with financial aid (so no top 20 LACs). I've got a 34 on the ACT, and I rank number 2 in my class, it's just the financial need thing that bothers me.
So if you happen to know a LAC with a strong math department, put it down here, please.</p>

<p>Williams has a small math department, but very highly regarded among LAC's and it may have financial aid for internationals.</p>
<p>Thanks for that list!!!</p>
