Similar academics as Brown but not DI

That said, people have been listing the (current and former) member schools of the UAA, a D3 conference, fairly often. Those schools are/were Brandeis, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, Chicago, Emory, Johns Hopkins, New York University, and Washington University in St. Louis.

I forgot to add that the University of Rochester is/was a UAA school.

The oversight is a little embarrassing: I used to take courses there.

Good catch- and the runners improve there (Rochester). Coach is very committed and knows how to individualize and get results.

The kid needs to provide times and test scores or people will just keep throwing out names of schools that they like. Is he looking for a team at the level of Grinnell or the level of WashU. They are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

That may be true for an average engineering job but not true for other fields. I can really only speak personally w regard to medical school...if you went to a school with a good rep, worked in a well known lab, published etc your chances of getting into a top Med school and eventually a competitive residency will increase exponentially. Coming from a small school without much research will put you at a disadvantage for top schools and residencies. Whether you really want to go to a ‘top’ school or residency is an entirely different debate.

I have also have been told that Google Microsoft etc will seek students specifically from top CS schools like MIT, CMU, Stanford etc but I don’t have personal experience with that

If you are a Columbia undergrad, what personal experience would you have with medical school?

See earlier post. Went to Columbia for undergrad, currently in Med school at another institution.

Hillsdale College, Michigan

Probably too fast if he is looking for slower than Brown.

The average ACT at Rutgers is 28 while the average ACT is only 25 so how are they overreaching when they don't even allow average students to attend? If state subsidized institutions don't allow in-state kids to attend, who will?

I don't think you understand how statistics and distributions work and how they relate to averages.

If the average is 25 and they admitted all average students that applied, their average would be well below 28 because their average ACT would approach the national average. The point was that state schools overreach which means they go deeper than the average. That means the state schools would have an average around 24 if they all overreach.

Washington and Lee

Many Patriot League schools tbh. It was supposed to be founded on a mix of academics and athletics, but schools like Colgate, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Loyola, Lehigh all have pretty poor running teams (though great academics). Tend to have good football and hockey though, so you have something interesting to watch.

Lol...the academics at 'Patriot League' schools are trash. They are just costly Jesuit schools for the most part. You could get a better education and not get molested by going to community college and transferring to Penn State, Syracuse, Rutgers etc and save thousands of $$$

2 out of 10 Patriot League schools are Jesuit.
