What other colleges should I apply to?

<p>I got rejected from Pomona ED1 and my appeal got denied, so I want to find schools that are similar. Ideally, under 5000 students and with good weather.</p>

<p>These are the things I liked about Pomona:</p>

<p>+100% need met aid with no loans(preferably), and need blind. I’m low income.
+Great academics in just about any discipline, particularly science
+Well-rounded and diverse student body
+A social scene that doesn’t center on drinking
+Proximity to an urban location
+A wonderful consortium if within a liberal arts college</p>

<p>I have safeties (National Merit Semifinalist Full Rides) and have applied to University of Chicago, Rice, Stanford, and Swarthmore so far.</p>

<p>What about Claremont McKenna or Pitzer, if you liked Pomona? Also Occidental, in the LA area.</p>

<p>Davidson in North Carlina meets the first five of your criteria.</p>
