<p>what about vassar? depending on what your stats are, hampshire…even if you are upper-tier LAC competitive, this could be a nice safety for you. and, it is in the amherst consortium, meaning that you can take classes at schools in amherst, ma. barnard is a good choice, too. </p>
<p>others:
-carleton
-reed
-occidental
-brown sounds like your ultimate school
-uva…no core curriculum if you are offered to be an echols scholar, and it is close to richmond - but charlottesville is not a bad little town! it is, however, on the conservative side and is fairly large. it’s one of those “small-feeling” large unis, though.
-what about rhodes in memphis as a safety? memphis is a great town and rhodes is a nice school.
-i’d say colby, but it’s in maine…</p>
<p>that’s a pretty tall order for a school, but there are a few that fit the bill.</p>
