[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason you state, OP, doesn't seem like a reason to seek privates.

Other state schools:

MSU
ASU
AU
UVM
Alabama
U of SC (South Carolina)
WVU
Rutgers
SUNY Binghamton

Reaches, if desired: Michigan and UNC[/quote]

[b]Are these the schools for kids taking 10-12 APs in high school and getting a 4/0 UW?[/b]  I feel like you could take a much lighter courseload and still attend these schools?  Am I wrong?  Is it worth it to have a challenging senior year or is it smarter to just take APs that are interesting and explore other electives b/c you'll probably end up at the same place anyway?  Am I reading it wrong?  This is so different that when I did this.[/quote]

To some extent yes because it will be the main option for top students from the state that for budget and/or distance reasons will stay in state.  The strong course load might help with honors and/or merit.  I can’t speak to all the ones listed but SUNY Binghamton was considered one of the top SUNY schools back when I was in high school. Even though MSU has a high acceptance rate, it also has a decently high average GPA and some strong programs.  Rutgers is also a solid education.[/quote]
