<p>Does anyone know any schools similar in size and opportunity to emory or vanderbilt without the Greek aspect?
I'm looking for a midsize school somewhere in the east or south, preferably warm, with a good science program...
my stats and ec's fall right in there with all the good but just not-good-enough candidates for the ivies (about 2150 sat, 8 aps, 3 sports, couple clubs, some leadership, volunteering...but no hooks)</p>

<p>Please, can anyone recommend any schools?
oh yeah, if you could pick between emory and vanderbilt, which one is better?</p>

<p>Sounds like you’re describing Rice. It has residential colleges instead of a Greek scene and a very strong science program. Check it out!</p>

<p>While Emory has a greek presence, it is not predominate like at Vandy or Wake.</p>

<p>But, for similar, check out Emory’s athletic conference.</p>

<p>Rice- D1 sports like Vanderbilt (well, SEC is a lot more exciting), no Greeks and great academics.</p>

<p>i think your stats are good enough for ivies. apply to a few you like and u may be surprised. </p>

<p>I’d second Rice, I’ll put in Wake Forest, College of William and Mary.</p>

<p>Wesleyan and Trinity have great science departments! In fact, there are lots of LACs that do: Oberlin (Ohio), Franklin & Marshall, Lafayette ¶ are some. For almost ivies, the first two are stellar.</p>
