I’m currently looking into colleges to apply to, and one that caught my eye right away was Tufts. I’m aware there are already threads about schools similar to Tufts, but I was specifically wondering if anyone could recommend any schools that share the sort of “liberal arts college combined with research university” feel Tufts has. Also, I’m worried it may be a reach for me, so schools that are a bit easier to get into would be great. If it helps, I’m interested in Biology and English, thanks! 
WUStL is probably not easier but that depends on your profile. Lehigh. Honors colleges within public universities can provide the LAC experience with the research resources.
Brandeis
Many mid-sized universities would fit the bill. Try using the Supermatch function to the left (under find a college).
Brown, URochester, Dartmouth, UVM, Wesleyan, Brandeis, WUSTL, Tulane
Clark University for a less selective option.
