[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Based on what I read have heard/read in terms of campus culture and academic focus, I think she may be a good fit at schools like Rice, Brown, Pomona/Harvey Mudd. Are those realistic reaches? [/quote]

Rice is most likely of those. Should get in if apply ED[/quote]

Base on everything I have researched, Rice feels like the perfect school for her if it wasn’t in Texas (she is very upset about fetal personhood laws and guns). But we know Rice is not typical Texas so may still encourage her to ED. Couple kids from her school got into Rice ED last year and scattergram looks like their GPA and SAT are slightly lower (3.7, 1530-1550) [/quote]

Have any of these 16 or 17 year olds that are anti-southern states ever actually been to the south? It is such intellectual arrogance to assume that people in southern states are somehow less than or anti-intellectual. Guess what? There are all kinds of political leanings in every state and college towns universally lean left. Get out a little more. [/quote]

OP here. It’s not about intellectual arrogance; that’s the last thing people who know this kid would use to describe her. She’s very humble and finds a way to like everyone. As a girl, she and her friends are afraid of what they read about places that have handsmaids tale type laws. I don’t blame them. But again, I know Rice is not like that, it will be on her short list. But that one location detail would be a factor if she ends up having other choices. [/quote]
