<p>I have many reach schools (Brown, Amherst, Wesleyan) but I can't find enough good match schools. I love Vassar and so I was wondering if there are any other schools that have the same academic standards (around 30 ACT) that are in the northeast. I do not want to go to school anywhere that is more north than Poughkepsie. I really like schools that are politically active and fairly liberal. Will someone please help me find another good match school like Vassar?</p>

<p>Look at Bard, and Skidmore, although that might be a bit of a stretch in the northward direction. If you are female and would consider a women's college, there's Smith and Mount Holyoke. Also Wheaton in Norton, MA might be a Safety and not very politically active.</p>
