[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has the stats for any of the most selective schools but not focused on HYPMS due to unlikely odds. What are top schools that fit description but are more attainable like at U Chicago, Cornell level?

Already considering Rice but the Texas thing makes it not an ED choice. [/quote]

I have a kid at Rice.

Really likes the positive atmosphere. And the residential college system. It's a smart school with friendly students. The internship opportunities have also been outstanding. And Houston is a very blue city. The downside has been the heat in September and May. But most of the academic year is very good, weather-wise.

You will not be meeting or engaging with right wing nutcases in Rice Village.

The other schools my Rice kid was interested in were MIT, Stanford, Princeton, McGill, UMD, USC, UC Boulder, Northwestern, Harvey Mudd, Penn, and Cornell.

But liked Rice more and applied ED and that was that.

I have a kid at Rice too. Agree that is a very welcoming place with very friendly, happy students. I wouldn't discount it just because of Texas, but that's just my $.02.[/quote]

Me too. Kid is loving it - awesome school. State level politics suck (currently) but people need to talk to each other. Be the change.
