Interesting. Georgia Tech or UGA?  I have a kid at TJ.  And they always have a large number of kids admitted to GT Engineering and 1-2 kids who go. Vs. a couple dozen kids who go to each of  to Michigan Engineering and Illinois-CU Engineering.  And since I have a class of 2020 kids interested in LACs, And not Engineering, I never dig deep enough to figure out why that is?  GT is as good, or better, in Engineering. Better financial aid?  A desire not to love in the South? Better TJ recruiting?  Interested because DH is from GA and I also grew up in the South.

Also interested to hear about hot LACs or small national universities.  Especially ones with good merit aid (which knocks out a lot of schools).  Oberlin was always on my radar, but College of Wooster, Kenyon and Grinnell look surprisingly good on paper.  Very high percent of kids in top PhD programs. Very good undergrad science research. Excellent merit aid.  Also Denison, which was scratched of our list for my kid specific reasons. And Davidson, which I knew about since it is a Southern school.  It would surprise me if there wasn’t a run on these schools.  Anyone? [/quote]
