I would do W&M or UVA based on fit if cost is a concern. |
depends on for what. |
Same, I would also say Georgia Tech for Aerospace. For CS, not sure but it will be a lot about what you do there, not strictly where you go. |
Auburn is an interesting & fun place. |
Oberlin only if kid was the type who yelled at other 1st graders for not putting empty milk cartons in the recycling bin. |
Toronto if kid doesn’t crave bigtime sport’s atmosphere. |
PSU!!! More fun, more cohesive alimni. |
Would for sure choose Georgia Tech for aerospace. Only MIT is ranked higher. And probably would choose GT for CS as well. The only thing is that Santa Clara places very well in FAANG and other SV companies due to proximity. |
For a STEM major, Berkeley. Otherwise Duke. |
Isn’t the state of Oregon or city of Portland rolling back their easy-on-drugs laws? |
I would say Loyola Marymount (CA) or Santa Clara. I’m guessing from the list they have some interest in communication and maybe media from Chapman, Elon and LMU. They have several Catholic colleges (in CA) with U of San Diego, LMU and Santa Clara so something appeals to them about that possibility. They also want that liberal arts education /smaller class size based on most of the list. |
Regrouping shows 3 categories. I would try to compare within groups or eliminate one big group to narrow down. I don’t know anything about the southern public’s but I’ve grouped the other two according to my preference. Ca catholic Loyola Marymount Santa Clara U San Diego Mid size private: Denver Elon Chapman Southern Public: College Charleston Tennessee Auburn |
Berkeley is great for grad school, but for undergrad it is a nightmare. It is overcrowded, difficult to get classes if you are not Regents' or MET, the neighborhood is unsafe, has 1 year of housing (3-4 per room), and impossible to switch into impacted majors (especially in STEM). I would choose Duke for undergrad and Berkeley for grad school.
