<p>I disagree with this. You do NOT want to show a math score under 600 to most of the schools on your list if you don’t have to, especially since you have strong grades in an IB program, have lived abroad, and have decent ECs.</p>
<p>I think St. Olaf is pretty comparable with those other schools on drinking. I have seen quite a few “red cup” pictures of my kids’ St. Olaf friends partying at college, and my D1 complained during college that her friends that went there only wanted to go out and drink when they were back in town for holidays or summers during college. 
I know all of those schools have groups of students who aren’t partiers (I know students at all of those schools who I think are not), but just saying that St. Olaf is no drier than the rest you listed. I do agree that Denison has a particularly heavy party reputation, though. Frats are not helpful in that regard…</p>
