Lefty:

Your chances better at Wesleyan (than McKenna) because you bring geographic diversity to the mix. I’d go with Pitzer (rather than Skidmore) since you can take classes Scripps, McKenna, Pomona, and Harvey Mudd–although the smog might get to you at times. If I were you, though, I’d go to Skidmore to see another part of the country (and some snow)–just something different. Barnard (you can take classes at all the Columbia schools) and Mt. Holyoke (where classes at Hampshire, Smith, UMassachusetts, and Amherst are also accessible) would be awesome for you too, as you have very good to excellent chances at those schools. Personally, I like Bowdoin (I’m applying) over Wesleyan…but they are both great schools with a similar feel (except that Bowdoin is more laidback and less militant).

Again, good luck on the search and application process. Have a good one. :)
