I don't know Denison, but it sounds like a lovely suggestion.
Some of the suggestions here seem unusual to me. Tufts is more selective than Colgate.
Isn't the girls part of the school Williams Smith? Or am I wrong?
Drew, not rolling hills, but a lovely forested campus, would make a good safety.
Connecticut College does not have the hills or isolation of Colgate either, but it has a similar student body, and it is pretty. It has a view Long Island Sound rather than the hills.
I also don't think Colby is significantly less competitive than Colgate.
However, D's good friend had the GPA but nowhere near the board scores for Colgate. I mean seriously beneath. She desperately wanted to go to Colgate. There was no other school that came close for her.
She applied ED was was admitted. She used the Colgate "13" in every aspect of her application, signalling her sympatico with the school.
I think her essay began, I have tried twelve pens until I found the one I liked to write the rough draft of my essay. Lucky 13. It's one o'clock in the afternoon, thirteen hundred in military time....
Or something like that.
So don't give up. She may be accepted to Colgate.
Oh, I don't think Vassar is less competitive either.
