What college should I apply to? Dartmouth, Middlebury....

<p>Williams and Bowdoin would be good choices to round out your “reach” schools.
A bit less selective (lower reaches) would be Hamilton or Colgate.</p>

<p>For good target/match schools, consider the US News #21-50 LACs or so, starting with the other Maine colleges (Bates, Colby). If you are willing to venture out of New England, check out Colorado College. World class Rocky Mountain skiing and rock climbing, very outdoorsy students. Good academics. One of the only small colleges with its own human cadaver dissection lab ([Colorado</a> College | Bulletin](<a href=“http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Bulletin/March2005/healing.asp]Colorado”>http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Bulletin/March2005/healing.asp)). Closer to urban work, internship and entertainment than the others we’re mentioning.</p>

<p>Even farther West, for another “match”, is Whitman College. Very solid liberal arts college. Check out its “Semester in the West” program ([Semester</a> in the West](<a href=“http://www.semesterinthewest.org/]Semester”>http://www.semesterinthewest.org/))</p>

<p>For a safety, it sounds like a good fit would be SUNY Geneseo (which describes itself as a “premier public liberal arts college”.) Or the University of Vermont, or the University of Colorado (Boulder), or (especially if cost is a major concern) your own state flagship.</p>

<p>You have clear specifications that go well together. That makes it easier to build a good list of reach-match-safety schools, any one of which you should be happy to attend.</p>
