<p>I'm looking for some safety schools and match schools. I'll just summarize my stats and what's important for me in a college:</p>
<p>3.8 GPA at a very academically intense private school. I do not have a rank.
2320 SAT
ECs have international/national recognition, depth, and strong leadership. Essays and recommendations will be excellent.</p>
<p>What I'm looking for:
A school strong in liberal arts, science, and arts (i.e. an easy-to-get-into LAC)
A school that is very liberal and accepting of the gay community as well as minorities and varied socioeconomic statuses (high gay population is a plus!); in general, a diverse school.
A school that has undergraduate focus
No party/alcohol-focused schools, but I definitely want a fun campus
City size does not matter. However, I would like to go to the East/Atlantic Coast and California. I'm not too interested in the South or the Midwest.</p>
You are really looking for a liberal LAC in ast/Atlantic Coast and California. I will suugest Wheaton, Connecticut College, Skimore, Bard and Occidental for matches and safeties. Vassar and Wesleyan are more of reaches even your numbers are good.</p>
<p>The main problem with looking for gay-friendly LACs is that most of them have tiny LGBT populations. I would scratch Wheaton and possibly Conn College from the above suggestions.</p>
<p>As suggested, Wesleyan, Vassar, Skidmore, and Occidental are good matches for you.</p>
<p>Among LACs, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, and Hampshire would be safe matches/safeties. </p>
<p>I highly recommend Haverford, Swarthmore, and the Claremont colleges. Tufts and several of the Ivies (Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale) would be great fits if you don’t mind a slightly larger school (4000-6500 undergrads).</p>
