[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High reaches are Yale and Brown; more realistic reach is Rice. DD’s school has near 100% acceptance rate to Rice in past 5-7 years in ED round with stats similar to DD’s but DD may not choose to ED there. Don’t know if those accepts include legacy (which we’re not); we know they were not athletes or Questbridge. If DD decide to ED Brown or SCEA Yale, will need target schools ready for RD round. This is for next year.

Safeties are EA early at Pitt and McGill, both also have 100% acceptance rate for DD’s stats and rank from her school.

Looking for suggestions for more attainable reaches and target colleges similar to Yale, Brown and Rice. DD most interested in interdisciplinary studies (science and language), want a research university with collaborative, learning for learning’s sake culture, not pre-professional. Full pay from well respected  private HS known to elite colleges but otherwise an unhooked applicant, top 10% of class. Every year top 35% of class get into Ivy+ WASP but we don’t know how many are legacy (not many are athletes).

Thanks![/quote]

Science and language?  Pretty broad.  Can't advise on best schools without truly knowing what your kid wants to study.  I mean certain schools do certain majors a lot better than others in preparing their graduates.  For instance, if by science you mean CS or Engineering, my list will be very different.  If by science you mean Biology or say Chemistry etc. then I'd say you are wide open for whatever school.  [/quote]
