[quote=Anonymous]Re a PP's two questions. Not true of University of Chicago, or of Berkeley or Michigan or Madison. But that assumes full pay or outside scholarships for the OOS publics or FA eligibility for Chicago (and maybe a willingness to apply ED1 or ED2). If he ends up a NMSF that helps wrt $ at places like USC. Might also be worth looking at Canadian universities (whose admissions are very stats-oriented). JHU might be another good choice -- top 10% matters to them but I suspect they're more flexible with that when an applicant comes from a magnet school. Also I assume (straight As and 7 APs by junior year) OP's kid is among the top 10% of his class. OTOH, I think OP's kid should not let the advice given deter him for applying to whatever schools he's interested in. He should write memorable essays and find recommenders who really know/appreciate him. That said, it is important to find safety schools he'd love. [/quote]
