Junior with 94 unweighted GPA is looking for a small liberal arts school where he can get a liberal arts degree and also continue contact with animals, especially mammals. He’s interested in pre-vet but his math/science grades are Bs compared with As in humanities. And he just hasn’t had enough expose to enough biology classes to know if vet school is a realistic or desirable option.

Large public universities are less appealing – he wants a smaller school with smaller classes.

Options we’ve found include:
-Hampshire College
-Smith / Mount Holyoke taking advantage of the consortium with Hampshire and UMass
-Maybe Bucknell or Franklin and Marshall but these seem more pre-professional and less liberal arts. And too Greek for his interests.
-Warren Wilson

What are we missing? Are there places where it’s possible to get animal contact off campus? How would we figure that out?

Other background – goes to a small public HS in NYC; has summer work experience with dogs, chickens, horses, cows, and goats. Also strong music background from age 4. Won’t qualify for Berea.

Thank you!!!
