[quote=Anonymous]Well, not courted so much as expressed interest- mailings, ec.  However, I know that means nothing and is largely a marketing ploy to boost applications. God, how I wish schools would just tell USNWR to stuff it. I just read "Where You Go Isn't Who You'll Be" and I want her on her summer reading list.

Someone above mentioned GWU - her father went there, so not sure whether she would be "legacy"'or not. FWIW, I went to Columbia, but that would be well nigh impossible for her. Maybe through Barnard?

As to foreign languages, she speaks Russisn and Spanish. Would've been nice if the Korean she got in Korean ES stuck. When she was eight she could sing the entire Korean national anthem in Korean she hasn't attended an IB program abroad.

She'll have some time to explore European schools this summer when she goes to work at her father's past if assignment. He had told her about English language options at German school, and we can also look at the UK.

In the end, I know there are any number of good schools out there, but I need to get her beyond the chatter at her HS which is all about UVA, Ivies, etc.

Virginia schools she's visited thus far are UVA, GMU, JMU, CNU and W&M. She has no desire for GMU. Might be the size, because it is the same reason she did not like UMASS -Amherst.

Regarding the IB Fair next weekend, I'm not sure we'll make it. She has another activity scheduled, and I frankly find the fairs difficult to navigate - crowded, hard to get around, etc. Hiwever, I'll take a look at the schedule and list of schools.

I would also like for her to listen to the "Getting In" podcast. It's not about getting in, but getting the right fit. [/quote]
