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 students are not "coddled".  You do realize that more than 80% of the students live on campus?  These are 14-18 year olds, away from home, some more than 10,000 miles.  Are they priviliged to be offered the highest academic education tailored to each student?  Yes.  No one is holding their hand, which is why when it comes time for college matriculations the very top schools in the country know that they will get a complete student, and why it has such great success with college matching.
