[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cambridge for math. After you decide on the University you have to pick a college.  Trinity tends to be the hardest to get into.  That's where the Olympiad kids are.  St. Johns is second but the year we applied it was harder to get into.  If you don't get into your top choice you'll be pooled and could be picked up by another college.  You should definitely visit.  Ours was going to apply to Oxford and picked Cambridge.  DD got in but chose Harvard.  10% of her 55 class were also accepted to Cambridge.[/quote]
Why choose Harvard? It is much less renown for mathematics education. Sure there's 55, but there's much more prestigious institutions that it sounds like your DD got into.[/quote]

We want her close to home for school and work.  Why rush through college in 3 years. She has the option to get a Masters by graduation but I told her to take non math classes and go to Cambridge if she wants a Masters.  College isn’t just about the academics.  The social component is very important. [/quote]
