What’s WPI, ASU, OSU (Oklahoma?)?

Wow, your DD got into Michigan but not MD? Michigan is probably a top 5 state school.[/quote]

Arizona State University 
Ohio State University

Yes, she got into Michigan EA. They look pretty holistically and like private school kids. Won’t be going due to costs though. It wasn’t a huge favorite of hers anyway so why spend more money? She is looking at 2 specific degrees and trying to double major in them. Not many schools allow it and most she will come out making the same.  She is bucking the private school mentality of higher ranked is the best. I mean her counselor nearly chocked on some of her colleges she wanted to apply to. LOL. Talked her out of Iowa State and Minnesota and put in Mich and Rice. Ridiculous. But she likes most she applied to and put her foot down with applying to Arizona and Ohio State. Arizona is one of her favs for her degree. Looking for overall happiness and fit right now. Wants to leave the high stress. Pretty proud of her.  Maryland was sad, but not too big of a deal. We knew they aren’t fans of private school kids. They heavily focus on weighted GPA’s and her school doesn’t have them. And we are in state, which makes it harder. [/quote]
