I think Sarah Lawrence would be good! No gen ed other than you have to take a couple courses in (of your choice) from outside your department (so an art major could take creative writing and theatre, or psychology, world religion, a language class etc.) And Sarah Lawrence looks at more than just GPA (they dont even look at SAT scores) they are much more interested in students with a passion for what they do. It’s also a well respected liberal arts college with a beautiful campus and its only 30 minutes from NY city (lots of art opportunities) but it’s located in a small rich towan that is beautiful: average income in the town is like 250,000. It’s a small school and used to be all girls but is now co-ed (though iths still about 3/4 female). Students can also design a lot of their own major at Sarah Lawrence and take classes that they are interested in! Your daughter probably has a good shot of getting in if she writes a good essay explaining her passion for art!
