What would you recommend to a high achieving student who wants to add 1-2 state schools to the list, and lives in New England and would prefer to stay in the region?
Thank you! |

| UMass has gotten so much better than when I visited back in the mid-90s. Much better stats and reputation. |

| Definitely UConn but other schools have greatly improved as well (UVT, UMass) |

| Depends on the kid. Alternative = UVM. Meathead = UMass. Nerd = UConn. None of these schools is dramatically stronger or weaker than the others, but they offer very different vibes/experiences. Different from (and stronger than) any of them and not too far removed = McGill. |

| Also SUNY-Binghamton. |

| Per a previous poster, not exactly New England because it’s upstate NY, but apart from the college of arts and sciences, all of the schools at Cornell are actually state schools. They’ve gotten incredibly competitive with low acceptance rates, but technically the arts and science school is the Ivy and the rest are state schools, with in state tuition for NYers. |

Not all of them, some of them, but agree this is a good idea. |

| Not a lot of great choices in that part of the country. SEC is where it's at. |
