[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: thanks for very helpful suggestions so far. Question: Are Swarthmore, Carnegie Mellon, Pomona, Rice and Harvey Mudd where-fun-goes-to-die schools? Those seem to be the level of “reachiness” DD wants to aim for. She wants high rigor (truly happy when around nerdy smart kids who like to talk science) but we hope she doesn’t jump right from an intense HS to another 4 years of intensity. [/quote] Rice is where a lot of kids who've been defined by their smart nerdiness their whole life re-sort and become more social, extroverted, and into trying new things (dorm theater! flag football! newspaper/radio! etc.). Some do not, but if your kid is looking for that, it's the perfect place to do so. I've heard similar things about Pomona. And for both of those schools, the sun shines in winter and that can really affect/lighten the mood/vibe on campus. [/quote]
