<li>Mt Holyoke</li>
<li>Scripps</li>
<li>Smith</li>
<li>Sweet Briar</li>
</ol>
<p>According to College data on paper they are all matches with sweet briar being a safety.</p>

<p>First in family to attend college
Income <25,000
American Indian/African American</p>
<p>Major: Middle East/Near East Studies</p>
<p>also considering other cultural studies majors but islamic studies/middle east is her #1 major</p>
<p>Closest you could get with Sweet Briar would be Latin American Studies. It also doesn’t meet full need, and is 80% white, with the college as a whole more white than the entering freshman class (of concern to me for my own non-white daughter - I wouldn’t want her to attend Sweet Briar without having visited and determined that the reason for the apparent high attrition among minority women was an acceptable one to her).</p>
<p>Smith gives you more area studies options, but not Middle East. Test optional, so otherwise likely a good match.</p>
<p>Mt. Holyoke is also test optional, which would work in your daughter’s favor.</p>
<p>Honestly, she looks like a holistic-perspective rock star candidate to me. Assuming she’s had 4 years of high school, I’d think she’d be strong for any of those schools, with better odds at Mt. Holyoke / Smith / Sweet Briar.</p>
<p>She did get 4 years of high school. This yr though at the high school level she only has 1ap course and all electives. But she is taking 12 credits of college courses too. She goes to a poor rural public school where she has exhausted the curriculum. We toured sweet briar on a break so we never got to see the student body. But good point, my D said she got weird vibes about the school but then again the security guard told her they have a resident ghost.</p>
<p>She will probably get in to Bryn Mawr (she is a strong applicant), I can’t speak to the other schools.</p>
