@Mysterycandy Start a new thread with that question. This thread is for OP’s question.

OP–Adding to @momofsenior1 's list, you may want to look (for merit) at:

-Muhlenberg–generally a happy school that people who like BMC also seem to like; arty students.
-Mt. Holyoke
-Smith (both MHC and Smith are of the same consortium and offer merit)

Wellesley – offers merit and professes to make sure (financially) that if they accept you, you can go there.
-Knox in Illinois–has great English department, like really good, and quirky fun students

Beloit–attracts quirky fun students

Earlham – I personally love this school–great egalitarian values, 800 acre campus

Oberlin maybe-- not sure if it has merit but it has the arty quirky part that you might like

Dickinson

Wheaton in Massachusetts – you’d get lots of merit there

Southwestern University just outside of Austin – gorgeous campus, great people–Austin! Offers lots of merit usually.

St. John’s of Annapolis – great books program, attracts really smart quirky students, gorgeous campus, lots of merit and you explore different disciplines

Wooster in Ohio

Drew in NJ – very arty, pretty campus, would give you loads of merit probably
