I just want to put in a good word for Beloit for the poster who asked. I spent a lot of time choosing my safeties, and I definitely wanted a place that was more intellectually stimulating, or at least offered good opportunities for that sort of student. Beloit was by far the best one of that type I found. I ended up visiting it twice, and while certainly many students were not on the same intellectual or academic level as I wanted, I found pockets of people who were, and lots of opportunities and support for those people. My stats were pretty strong but not exceptional (3.8 at a very rigorous school, 2240), and Beloit offered me their biggest merit-based scholarship. They’re really trying to get great students, they were incredibly nice and helpful to me, and I could actually have seen myself going there.
