I like this one.[/quote]

I like this too!

Ours is Reach: MIT and Bowdoin
Target: Bryn Mawr and University of Toronto
Safety: UVM and URI

Can you explain how? It seems like you can’t choose between big rigorous hard colleges and easy liberal arts schools. They have nothing in common[/quote]

What can I say-- my kid "contains multitudes".  She has compelling reasons to go to any of them.

Anyway, I consider neither Bowdoin, nor Bryn Mawr "easy"-- she plans to major in math and evidently both schools have exceptional math programs that she is excited to be a part of.    [/quote]

Bryn Mawr absolutely. Careful with Bowdoin, especially if she is coming in with post-AP math. My math major loves the school itself but has been limited by course availability - lots of faculty leaves in an already tiny department. [/quote]

Woah-- thanks for the heads up!  Hope Bowdoin can right the ship and get excellent new staff for its math department.[/quote]
Their math faculty come from really underwhelming schools like [b]University of Oklahoma and Manhattan college[/b]. This confirms to me that bowdoin is a much lower tier than people put on.[/quote]
Threw up in my mouth[/quote]

Had to look this up. The Manhattan College guy went on to get a PhD in Math from Brandeis. Is this really so horrible? He probably has a 200 IQ.

Would've been fine if his BS were from Brandeis. [/quote]
