<p>I think you would be a great fit for Earlham College!</p>
<p>A school in the eastern USA or Ontario or Quebec, will settle for anywhere though
We’re in Richmond, IN.</p>
<p>MUST have a good financial aid program
If you qualify for the Bonner Scholars program, that’s a renewable grant which is in exchange for volunteer service. [Bonner</a> Scholarships | Earlham College](<a href=“http://www.earlham.edu/bonner-scholars]Bonner”>http://www.earlham.edu/bonner-scholars) Make sure you check the financial requirements. </p>
<p>Offer a good advising program (I plan on attending med school after )
We have great student-faculty relationships. I’ve been to three of my professors’ houses for dinner, and all of my profs know me by first name (I know them all by first name too, the first-name basis is a quaker thing), even three years after having taken their class. So you can get good advice from all your professors, not just your adviser. We also have peer mentors, which function as peer advisers, and there’s just in general a great environment for collaboration among peers as well.</p>
<p>Diverse, politically active, student body.
We’re very politically active, and the campus is phenomenally diverse - but not in the typical way. We’re around average for domestic minorities, but we are one of the 2-3 most internationally diverse LAC’s in the country. Last year’s freshman class was 25% international, and the college as a whole represents 82 countries and 41 states.</p>
<p>Employment on or off campus (plan on working at least 2 jobs)
Work-study is readily available, and if you’re also doing Bonner I think you can do both. If not, there are opportunities to be an RA starting in your sophomore year which can be done on the side.</p>
<p>Offer a good science program, or allow me to take classes in science to fulfill med school requirements, even if my major is not in science.
Earlham’s great in the sciences. We have a 95% med school acceptance rate and 80% get into one of their 3 preferred med schools. There’s a lot of emphasis on student research, and I’ve had the opportunity to present research that I’ve worked on at two conferences, and I should be getting published soon for a separate project. People get involved early and often, and faculty are great about writing letters of recommendation for REUs and other off-campus research opportunities.</p>
<p>Additionally, study abroad is available for every student at no additional cost - it is the same cost to study in Tanzania, London, or New Zealand (among many other places) as it is to study on campus. Most of our programs are run by faculty members.</p>
<p>Community oriented liberal student body.
Earlham students put in around 30,000 hours of volunteering service every year (and at 1100 students, that’s around 28 hours per student). It’s not a requirement, but almost everyone is involved in the community. We’re also pretty progressive! Earlham was the second coeducational college in the US (after Oberlin), and has always been ahead of the social justice curve.</p>
<p>Also, if you want to do a campus visit, the Admissions department will fly you in for free if you have the need.
