[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I did not read the entire thread, but I hope you are staying positive for your kid. He has some excellent admittances and I would not be surprised if he gets offered a spot at Purdue.

[b]UT Austin, Rice, and University of Washington were never going to happen. Georgia Tech is a toss up, but probably also a "no". [/b]Wisconsin seems like he should have a good shot.

I went through this with my kid last year. You need to be VERY positive about all of his acceptances and remind him why he likes those schools.[/quote]

Huh. Why?? (not OP).

The kid has PERFECT stats. [/quote]

I assume you have not had a kid go through the admissions process in the last 2 years. UT Austin, Rice and U of Washington all have very low acceptance rates for CS (single digits). UT Austin is basically impossible to get into from OOS because of the way they do admissions for in-state students. They are looking for truly special kids. Not 4.0/perfect SAT score eagle scouts.

With all this demand from American kids, why do universities insist on admitting foreigners?  The same Chinese and Indian kids are available in the US (born to immigrants) and are more than willing to pay the same full fare.  Don't get their pursuit of faux diversity..[/quote]
