Another person did this and I thought it was a great idea. Need help coming up with a list.

DS 
physics 
UW GPA - 3.95
WGPA - 4.7
SAT - if PSAT is a guide, will be 1550 or above 
Decent ECs but nothing too unusual - music and a weird sport
Will have had 1 Internship 
No hooks 
Competitive MD public

Looking for a medium-size school, east coast, Midwest or south (likes the idea of warm weather) not a party school or heavy Greek system

We definitely have ideas (Rice is one I’d like him to apply to, eg) but I’m curious to see if there are ideas we haven’t considered.

Hope the original PP doesn’t mind me piggybacking here.

My big issue is that I don’t know if it’s a good idea for him to focus on schools with amazing physics programs or just some place with great undergraduate teaching, since he will likely go to graduate school. [/quote]

Tour DS is a junior? One thing I can say is that its highly unlikely that your DS will still want to major in physics in 3.5 years when he's likely to have to declare a major. Pick the best overall school[/quote]
