<p>I notice that Trinity college out of hartford is not even in the top 50 list that johnadams posted at the top. </p>
<p>anyone with ideas why?</p>
<p>My son is trying to find ‘peers of swarthmore’ - smaller schools w/ an engineering option along with the breadth of of liberal arts and science offerings - in order to make a more informed choice. I saw Trinity pop up in threads like this. It might be a better match for my son , admissions wise, than Swat.</p>

</p>
<p>morris, do you have any specific reasons why?</p>
<p>If, for example, it would be about the same amount of money to go to UIUC vs going to Bucknell, what wd be better for a boy from Chicago? </p>
<p>I am not sure how much awareness of Bucknell there is in the MW. But I suspect that awareness of UIUC (computer disciplines) extends beyond its native MW.</p>
<p>[Note he can almost for sure get in to Bucknell -and UIUC 's LAS college now , but he’d need to raise his ACT (taking it again on 9-11-10) to get into the Engineering college at UIUC.]</p>
