[quote=Anonymous][quote]Based on your son's course selection, he is probably in a magnet program.
Just curious why did he apply to so many safeties considering his high stats? My son has identical stats and had UMD, VT and Purdue as safeties. He got into all but we (literally) forced him to apply to VT just to add an extra safety.

Wisconsin-Madison, UIUC, and UMD are top engineering schools with very low acceptance rate. Congratulations to your son![/quote]
Thank you. That's a good question about safeties. We let him choose where to apply. He said he was looking at the strength of the engineering programs specifically more than the schools. The only one I suggested was Vanderbilt, which didn't work out and wasn't a top priority for him. 
My kid's at Blair. Even if you're not in the magnet, you can request to take some magnet classes with a teacher's recommendation and that's what he did. 
Congrats to your son as well! Just curious, which one will he accept? Sounds like he has great options. [/quote]
