[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which other schools are still in the running along with Williams?[/quote]

OP: just answered above as well. It's between Rice, CMU and Williams. Leaning Rice vs CMU (kid is an advanced student in pure math. either going to PhD or quant after undergrad).

We visited Rice Owl day over the weekend and I think DC loved it a lot - all the students there were great. Spoke to several math profs and math major students. I think the visit made the Rice vs CMU decision harder for DC!!!

Williams is still in the running for now, even though the lack of advanced/grad-level math classes is a major drawback. But I keep hearing the education is amazing at Williams so we have to go see it for ourselves, and give it a fair chance, at least![/quote]

^^ OP: want to add DC was shut out of all Ivys+MIT+Stanford+Caltech sadly. Decision week was really tough, and surprising since between (a substantial scholarship and financial aid) made Rice almost free, so we thought DC had a real chance with at least one Ivy. Nope. ZERO.

DC very disappointed - I think the big part that bothers us is that IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!![/quote]

Course rigor? Private high school or public?  AP's taken? SAT's? What were EC's? [/quote]
