[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have any “hooks”?  I’m assuming you will be full-pay.  [b]Intended major?  My NoVA son had an unusual intended major that got him into pretty much everywhere[/b] (2021, I know it’s way tougher just two years on).  You can check some Common Data Sets to see who graduates with what major to infer what departments need students.

Heck, even Oxbridge publish their admissions data on studying Anglo—Saxon\Norse, for example, and you can see they admit a significant # of applicants.  Some students play this game I which they major in something first year and then change their majors.  Got to be sure this is allowed when you apply but to me it beats transferring!

Call me cynical but if you have some good certs on your resume with meaty internships, the major isn’t as important.  It’s the paper itself.

If he’s interested in business, Indiana Kelley is very popular with privates.  Strong program with excellent placement.
If engineering, maybe look at smaller schools with more intimate environments?  
Echoing PP’s post about doing ED@ W&Mfor a male applicant.  Very smart strategy.[/quote]

Quite a few schools don't admit by major, so this strategy won't work for them.  [/quote]

Duh, they research the ones that do, silly wabbit [/quote]
