<p>Right. Terms like “very” and “moderately” are imprecise. I was too lazy to look up the numbers and used these terms to give an indication of relative selectivity among only the schools I listed (Amherst/most > Wesleyan/very > Bates/“moderately” …)</p>
<p>By poster PapaChicken’s reckoning of the US News selectivity formula, Bates is the 66th most selective school (among LACs and Universities combined, for the year his data applies.)
The OP can download the Common Data Set for Bates or other schools of interest to get available details on average scores, GPA/rank, etc.</p>
<p>A few others to consider: Bard, Colby, women’s colleges such as Mt. Holyoke or Bryn Mawr.</p>
