LAC with strong theatre

My son liked both Kenyon and Hamilton, but I agree they are REALLY isolated, much more so than Williams. (Clinton is a charming smalltown but it’s not really walkable from Hamilton.)

Momofzag, My son – a non-athlete, non-legacy – had a positive experience with Williams ED. Whether your daughter chooses Middlebury, Williams or another school altogether, ED may be the way for her to compensate for what you perceive as her weak points, though I can’t imagine how a 31 ACT would keep anyone out of any school. Maybe she needs to do some intensive prepping and take the SATI & IIs again.

Perhaps the person she interviewed with on campus was being overly cautious? I’m a little puzzled by the concept of “non-evaluative” interviews. Once the impression is made it can’t be erased, so I think that time spent with a member of the admissions committee would have to count, indirectly or otherwise.

Lucie, Williams is another one to look at for theater + math.
