[quote=Anonymous]Financial aid was probably the most important criterion. HHI less than 200k; we needed need blind schools known for giving excellent FA. Alternatively she applied to a couple safeties who are known to give good merit which were a couple religious privates, Jesuit. This meant only private schools. From very small SLACS to larger ones and midsize universities. Secondly she wanted strong premed schools. This translates to research opportunities, mentorship, advising, outcomes. But also it mattered to her how the premed community collaborated. For her grade deflation wasn’t really a big concern for selecting schools to apply to. Location wasn’t a big deal to her, but I will say she ended up gravitating to a place we had family. I steered her toward CA for weather, but she didn’t care. She also cared more about academic reputation than social and well-being stuff like football and facilities. [/quote]
