[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from and worked in admissions for a selective university before going on to attend law school at another selective university. I consider myself a "low-key high-achiever" and found my peeps at both those schools. Based on my experience, I'd say your nephew sounds like a very talented young person and he'll have lot of good options, including state flagships (especially those with honors programs -- e.g., UNC, Michigan), SLACs, and many other schools suggested by PPs here. The key will be for him to apply to a range of schools in terms of selectivity (not the same as quality). Keep in mind that at any of those schools there will be many more applicants with impressive credentials than the school can admit. Two things I know for sure: 1) ultimately, admissions decisions turn on many factors and can be hard to predict, and 2) a motivated, intellectually curious student will thrive at any school. [/quote]
