I agree re St. Olaf, we visited and loved it. A very good school.
As for Kenyon and Macalester, we considered them targets for our daughter (along with Grinnell and Oberlin), but perhaps her situation was a bit different, with an ACT in the 99 percentile, strong GPA (which is also the OP’s case), and applying from a very rigorous and selective public school, well known to these colleges. Her high school guidance counselor even said Grinnell would be safety to her, given the history of the school, but we still treated it as a target. Of course, by calling them targets we didn’t assume she would get in but we knew it was realistic. She did get into all of them with nice merit. She applied to Knox and St. Olaf (and the state flagship) as safeties. Knox would be a good option, too, by the way.
It’s true, though, that things have gotten more competitive since 2019-20. Kenyon’s mean ACT rose from 31 to 32 last year, and I heard it was 33 this year, for example. And Macalester acceptance rate has dropped significantly in the last few years. Still, lots of good options suggested in this thread.
