<p>I would second Wake Forest as the closest alternative. Some others would be BC, Lehigh, Colgate, UMiami, Richmond, Tulane, SMU.</p>
<p>Jewell95-I agree on Wake Forest. That’s where I hope my son goes if not Vandy. We both loved the campus when we visited this summer. He likes UVA but that is also going to be a shot in the dark for qualified out of staters. Elon had a great campus too and if you go into an honors program you might be satisfied with the academics. Anyway, I always tell my kids that everything that happens to them is in their best interest! Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Nothing in mail in MO…I am reminded that patience is a virtue. ^^Wake is a very cool campus. Anyone here have any insight/opinions on SMU? S didn’t like TCU much.</p>
