[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not highly ranked enough for you but William and Mary has a lot of similarities to Rice. Caltech too if your kid is STEM focused.[/quote] DC's super nerdy personality may be a fit at Caltech (and she has the stats for it) but assume it's out of reach for someone without national-level competition ECs and it's another where-fun-goes-to-die school, no?[/quote] My understanding of Caltech is that undergrads are essentially treated like grad students. So if there's research your kid is already angling to do (or doing), and they want to zero in on that work, and get some guidance from specific experts, then great. But a lot of people get caught up in its prestige and USNWR rank and miss the point that it's a different animal from other undergraduate universities.[/quote]
