[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the posters above saying Yale and Rice. Our science-but-not-engineering daughter was looking for the same things your daughter's looking for. Her list had Yale SCEA (not in), then Rice and W&M tied for second (waitlisted at the first; in w/ Monroe at the second). She's loving W&M.[/quote]

Congrats! What were her stats? coming from public or private HS?[/quote]
Thank you! Private HS, OOS. 4.0 UW, 1560, National Merit Scholar (though application just said Semifinalist or whatever the case was at the time). ECs were "weakest" part of app, just in that there was nothing that stood out especially, but I think it's really just that there are a lot of really talented students applying for these schools. We went into the process framing it as "the odds aren't in your (or anyone's) favor at the tippy-top schools, regardless of your resume; let's give it a shot, though, and see how it goes." We're glad W&M's been such a good fit, and, per OP's initial request, she's absolutely found the intellectually curious, collaborative, smart, happy students she was hoping she would find. FWIW, the other admitted school that she considered strongly until the end was Carleton, so that might be another good one to take a look at.[/quote]
