<p>I am applying to Tufts ED, Brown(for the heck of it), Trinity (CT), Hope college. I am looking for 3000-5000, not a huge party scene, good academics and grad placement. Location isn't too important, but NE or Midwest prefered.
^^oh yeah, common app colleges would be good too</p>

<p>Oh and I don't want a radically liberal campus, liberal is fine, but not radical</p>

3

<p>Grove City
Wheaton (ILL)
Earlham
Davidson
Washington and Lee
Bucknell
Lafayette
Lehigh
Holy Cross
Notre Dame
Furman
St Olaf
Westmont (CA)</p>

4

<p>Agree, Holy Cross-very good school 1 hour from Boston-would be a good choice.</p>

5

<p>Any more? I didn't mean to make it sound like I just want conservative schools.</p>

6

<p>I think Tufts is a reach, S had similar stats and didn't get in several years ago and I'm sure they've gotten harder.</p>

7

<p>Yes Tufts is a reach, that is why I am looking for matches and safeties. Also, I am applying ED to Tufts which will increase my chances</p>

<p>Any more schools, leaning for on the safety side?</p>

8

<p>bump.........</p>

9

<p>bump.........</p>

10

<p>anyone else?</p>

11

<p>Davidson's a pretty huge reach...</p>

12

<p>any matches or safeties then instead?</p>

13

<p>Both Davidson and Washington and Lee are huge reaches, the former is a larger reach, furman=match?
It appears that you barely took any AP's, how many does your school offer?</p>

14

<p>I could have only taken one junior year, and I am taking all but one of those offered this year.
Once again, I am looking for safties and matches, I didn't make the list containing davidson and washington and lee, that was another poster. I am applying to Brown, Tufts ED, Trinity, and Hope. I know that Brown and Tufts are real reaches, but I can hope can't I. Now I am looking for safeties and matches, not reaches. Thanks.</p>

15

<p>safeties/matches................anyone? please</p>

16

<p>Miami of Ohio comes to mind as a really nice match. Possibly Case Western Reserve as well.</p>

17

<p>try Ave Maria</p>

18

<p>thanks....anymore?</p>

19

<p>I think Loras College in Iowa is also worthy of your consideration.</p>
