Thank you, @cubsfan95! I also noticed – though I doubt it has any immediate impact – that the newly named future president of Wooster is a physicist.
In any case, after digging around a bit more, we found Muhlenberg and Wooster comparable in many respects, and did see that Muhlenberg had an interesting relationship with Brookhaven National Laboratory (http://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/academics/physics/research/) but it wasn’t enough to tip the balance against Wooster’s IS offerings. While Clark has an excellent reputation in psychology, we couldn’t find anything that trumped the others in physics in particular or the sciences in general.
So from this particular cluster of schools, we decided to stick with Wooster.
