so much good information above that I will just add that

1. Swat has a really different vibe than most of the others on you list: there is an academic intensity (not competitiveness) that is almost palpable.

2. We are huge fans of Vassar (one of the Collegekids had a superb experience there), but it really is a ‘fit’ school- it clicks or it doesn’t. The underlying ethos of having been a women’s college really shows, and stood to our one, who is in a field that is currently 85% male. The encouragement to try things outside your comfort zone (such as the NRO option, which makes it safe to take a chance without messing up your GPA) was great.
