[quote=Anonymous]Will she have 10 or more AP courses by graduation? Is she taking AP Calculus BC? Start with your state flagships, which in this area are usually UVA or UMD. Admissions there, however, are very competitive. Applying to lower ranked campuses in the state system as back-ups is a must. In STEM fields, students often look at large, well-regarded state universities with lots of professors doing research, leading to lots of opportunities to get some lab experience. The University of Michigan and several University of California schools are great, but very difficult to get into. The University of Wisconsin, University of Washington, and Purdue are easier to get into, but still competitive. Your child should apply to at least 10 universities. You want several of those to have admission rates above 50-60%, so that they have some where to go for certain. They can then apply to universities that are more academically stellar, but harder to get into. [/quote]
