Mount Holyoke and Smith offer generous merit aid and no application is required. Skidmore has a limited number of merit awards. An application is required. Even without merit aid, Skidmore has been known to be * very generous* to high stat applicants. In recent years, Skidmore has placed a great deal of emphasis on the sciences. Saratoga Springs is also a great college town.
I’m very fond of Dickinson as well. How far are you and your D willing to travel?
