<p>My first post: We're planning a Northeast/Mid-Atlantic college tour this summer with D, a rising HS junior. She's strong on humanities, especially Classics but also French, literature, history, philosophy. She'll have had 6 years Latin & 4 years Greek by the time she starts college, including (we hope) 2 years at the college level (Minnesota or Macalester) in her HS jr & sr years under a state program that pays for eligible HS students to take college courses. She's drawn to northeastern LACs but many, including some very good ones, don't have enough depth in Greek & Latin to satisfy a student coming in with that much background. </p>
<p>Right now Brown is at the top of her list because it has something of an LAC feel but has phenomenal strength & breadth in Classics (and a lot more to like). We're not inclined to grab for the HYP brass ring, but expect her stats to be strong enough to compete most places. We're also looking at Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, Smith, Cornell, Columbia, Barnard, possibly Middlebury, Bowdoin. We've also looked at Michigan (Dad's alma mater) but she doesn't like the size and has a strong geographic preference for the Northeast.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
