<p>There are 2 other schools I know about that use the Block Plan. One is Cornell College in Iowa. It is profiled in “Colleges that Change Lives”, and I suspect it is quite a bit easier to get into.</p>
<p>The other, probably very easy to get into, is Quest University (actually a very small LAC) in Squamish, BC, just north of Vancouver. However, Quest is very new and does not have all the wrinkles ironed out yet.</p>
<p>Whitman, in WA, has a similar athletic, outdoorsy student body and similar stats required, but no Block Plan. It was my son’s second choice.</p>
<p>This link will give you some reviews of CC:</p>

<p>Because of the Block Plan, location, and the kind of students it attracts, CC is unique. If your D is interested, I really hope you visit.</p>
