[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some really different schools on the list. Is urban U of Chicago really as appealing as Bowdoin? ED can be a boost at any of them. Nobody can tell him which to ED, sounds like he needs to do a lot more research and reflection on which would actually be his first choice. [/quote]

He's a city kid who is totally familiar with life in a city neighborhood and all that comes with that. UChicago has a residential system that appealed, curriculum that he wants with professors who excite him on a drop dead gorgeous campus. Bowdoin also had the curriculum, campus, residential and food (!) that excited him and Brunswick was plenty big with easy access to Portland (we saw a concert one night and had no issue getting there and back) and a train station steps from campus.

He also has a couple older siblings and knows the limit of research and reflection. You can do all the research all the world and you can and get a lousy roommate, a department gets cut, or you get sick and all of a sudden the health services you never even visited is a key factor in your health and happiness. He's not about a first choice. As he said, "I'm not looking for a soulmate, I'm looking for a college. I can be happy at a lot of places"
