Ideas on which schools to consider?

Schools I would recommend include Skidmore (they will love that she intends to major in physics!) where undergrad research is available and paid to top students. They are building their STEM departments and in our case provided a fantastic finaid package for my top Math/CS daughter. No greek life, artsy/nerdy vibe, my take is a very kind student body. FWIW, my D sounds just like yours :slight_smile: When D applied we considered it a low match but its a “hot” school right now and I think their current acceptance rate is 25%.

Other schools I would look at would be those who provide 100% need. Our favorites on that list were Dickinson and Vassar, she is a match for Dickinson I would say, Vassar a reach. Other ones we toured and liked were Gettysburg, Mount Holyoke (all girls), and Wheaton, all matches IMHO.

Schools not on the 100% needs met list that I would suggest looking at are Simmons and Barnard (all girls), Bates, and University of Scranton.

Good luck and let us know how things develop so we can keep helping you.
