Was surprised Virginia Tech wasn't anywhere and that SMU and Tulane were on the 3 year list.[/quote]

Only 1 to Cal Tech and none to Harvey Mudd is more disappointing than none to Virginia Tech. The students looking at STEM aren’t focused on SMU or Tulane …Virgina Tech is likely a safety for the 7 going to MIT [/quote]

There are geographic reasons at play.  There is a definite bias towards east coast schools, except for Stanford and UChicago.  Very few to Berkeley, UCLA, etc.[/quote]

So why no Virginia Tech & UMD?[/quote]

Coddled private school kids  tend to not thrive at large universities. [/quote]

Andover is the opposite of a school that coddles. The unofficial motto is “sink or swim.”

I remember literally collapsing on the floor of the library after finals during my upper (junior) year, from pure exhaustion.

I also remember my European History teacher telling us in the fall that all of us would get no more than a 3 (equivalent of a C) that term. I was never so happy to finally earn a 5 that spring (equivalent to an A).

My English teacher told us “The only way anyone will get a 6 (equivalent to an A+) on a paper in my class is if I read it and wish I had written it.”[/quote]
