[quote=Anonymous][quote=Texanviadelco]Late to the party, but from description of your child’s diverse interests including scientific research and humanities, my alma mater, UChicago, may be a consideration. “[b]She wants to solve problems with science[/b].” That IS UChicago. But if she changes her mind from the sciences as an undergrad and wants to get rich, UChicago College as a target for investment banking and consulting firms can make that happen too. [b]Scientific bent but a creative writing scratch to itch[/b], that is UChicago too.  Virtually every academic department in the top ten nationally per US News rankings whether in the sciences, social sciences or humanities. In the last few years UChicago has established molecular engineering majors, but does not have traditional engineering. [/quote]

Those are generic high level inclinations, you will find it fit for many many top schools, not unique to Chicago.  Rice, JHU, Williams, Pomona are probably better fit than Chicago.

Also, I don't get the quirky vibe for Chicago from the OP.  Definitely a top notch student, but just not quirky enough for Chicago.[/quote]
