[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Large public + chem = UMN[/quote] The people telling you how great your son’s stats are have probably never taken a physics or chemistry class for majors at a top research university. No, those are not great SAT scores for chemistry at a top school. If your son thinks any high school classes are challenging, and he’s at a regular public school, that’s a little bit of a red flag. Going test optional would be terrible. He could easily end up in classes where he’s in way over his head. I think he should start by getting whatever Niche.com subscription that you need to see the admissions scattergrams by major. He should aim for state schools with a lot of chemistry professors where his SATs would easily be in the top quarter for engineering and chemistry majors. If that means the University of Arkansas, better the University of Arkansas with a fighting chance than UMD with terror about showing you his grades. [/quote]
