[quote=Anonymous]My child is a junior, excellent but not spectacular student, and really only interested in studying math/engineering/business (the data analytics/quantitative side). Now that we have an idea of where he falls numbers-wise, which is lower half of the 25%-75% range for Ivy/Stanford and just below the 25% range for MIT and Cal Tech, we’re trying to pull together a range of schools to visit. I’m a liberal arts person myself, so this has come as a surprise to me:  Once you get past the top 15 or 20 schools, there aren’t options on the math-y side that are similar to, for example, the SLACs.  So our list includes a few reach schools (Penn, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon) and then jumps to big state schools (Georgia Tech, UCLA).  I’m very happy to live in Virginia because that means UVA and Virginia Tech are great match options, but I wanted to check in with the board about whether I’m missing something. It feels like there should be some more ‘matches’ out there for math types. [/quote]
