College Search & Selection
1

<p>Any ideas? Looking for small (2000-3000 student) liberal arts school preferably in northeast. D has 3.65 UW in a hyper-competitive HS and 1300 SAT. Good science facilities are a big plus.</p>

<p>Not quite in the northeast, but look at Allegheny College. It has around 2000 students and excellent science facilities. Stats would be a match, assuming the SAT does not include the writing score.</p>

4

<p>College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA (about 45 minutes out of Boston). Her GPA is a bit on the low end, but her scores are a good match.</p>

5

<p>Bucknell
Clark (offers a BA/MA program in the sciences with the 5th year tuition-free)
Colgate
Franklin & Marshall
Lafayette
Middlebury (reach)
Union
Vassar (slight reach)</p>

<p>Several of the single-sex schools meet her criteria.</p>

<p>Barnard
Mount Holyoke
Smith
Wellesley</p>

<p>There are other schools that meet the size requirement, but I’m not familiar with their science programs.</p>

<p>Dickinson
Gettysburg
Hobart & William Smith
Muhlenberg
Skidmore
St. Lawrence
Susquehanna
Trinity</p>

<p>Brandeis and Lehigh are smallish universities that might be worth a look.</p>

6

<p>Thanks for the suggestions. More are welcome.</p>

7

<p>1300 SAT? Is that a typo?</p>

8

<p>That is Math and CR…1900 for 3 parts.</p>

9

<p>Okay–I was wondering if they changed the scoring on us again!</p>

10

<p>Wheaton College (MA)
Simmons College (MA) Women
Drew University (NJ)
Alfred University (NY) Regional University, 2,300 students<br>
Ithaca College (NY) Regional University (might be too large)
Connecticut College (CT)
Ursinus College ¶</p>

<p>How about Swarthmore as a semi-reach? I don’t know how Goucher is in sciences, but it’s a good liberal arts college.</p>

13

<p>Sorry, but with those stats, Swarthmore is a high reach.</p>

14

<p>lol, Swarthmore a “semi-reach.” Swarthmore is a reach for everyone, and an incredibly long shot for the OP’s daughter, judging by numbers alone.</p>

15

<p>I agree, we weren’t considering Swarthmore. Its a great school, but seems out of reach for my D.</p>

<p>Hmm… I thought Juniata ¶ was big on the sciences. </p>
