<p>You said you need some safties. Obviosuly, what a safty is will depend on your stats, but some schools that are safer than those on your list (I imagine most would serve as at least low matches) and you might like are:</p>
<p>–Occidental (as I said…def. check it out, it has a lot of what you’re looking for, including one of the best campuses I’ve seen. It might not be that much less competitive than Mac though, I’m not sure the most recent stats)
–Pitzer, Scripts (maybe not safties, but if you end up really liking the Claremont consortium, these are good safer option to Pomona).
–Goucher (GOURGOUS campus)
–Lewis+Clark</p>
<p>Also, if you end up really liking Vassar/Wes/Brown, you should also check out Oberlin. Not a safty at all, but it is a touch less competitive than Vassar/Wes , and very simular (though more isolated, but with a ton to do on campus).</p>
