<p>Weenie, Denison enjoys an excellent reputation among the prep schools. It gets a number of highly qualified applicants, and due to their high quality in just about every area, it has a talented and well prepared group of students. In the midwest and Pittsburgh, Kenyon and Denison are considered the top LACs. If it were located in the NE, it would be right up there I am sure. One reason it gets such a group of kids is that it aggresively uses its endowment to provide merit awards to the type of students it wants and is also generous with financial aid. I am extremely impressed with that whole group of Ohio LACs–Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenburg, Kenyon, and Denison. Congratulations to your son for his acceptance and his scholarship. That is one school I would give heavy consideration.</p>
