<p>fairlights, the schools you mention are good suggestions but span big differences in size, location, culture, selectivity. Which do you prefer?</p>
<p>Among LACs, I suggest you check out (from more to less selective by row):
Swarthmore, Williams, Harvey Mudd
Haverford, Wesleyan
Carleton, Grinnell, Reed
Colorado College (but this has an unusual one-course-at-a-time “block” schedule)
Earlham College</p>
<p>Among universities, you have many options. Any of the Ivies (esp. Harvard and Yale), Stanford, Chicago, Johns Hopkins. Match school? U.Rochester. Safety? Your state flagship.</p>
<p>But you’ll get better-tailored advice if you first address some of mom2collegekids’ issues.</p>
