If you love Allegheny, keep UPS on the list. They have a lot in common in many ways, both lovely LAC’s, very strong in science. Allegheny will have more of an athletic feel and a bit more conservative than UPS but the well rounded comment is spot on. UPS has a very strong arts component as well if there is any interest in theater or music. It is a beautiful campus and definitely not rural, with easy access to Tacoma and Seattle. Very well regarded locally and a strong alumni network. Allegheny’s pre-med/sciences are outstanding, they are quite generous with merit but the school, in parts, is a tad tired looking and it’s definitely rural though Pitt isn’t really all that far away. Truly wonderful food, we were quite impressed.

Ursinus may be another one to toss in the mix that has a lot in common with the other two.

At his stats alone, L&C will be a low reach/high match and can be stingy with merit but his sport may override that.
