[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wisconsin for my high-stats full-pay kid.

Got into t10 early & accepted, but looked back wistfully on Madison. Don’t know what would have happened if DC had had offers from both simultaneously (and/or had waited til Spring to decide rather than wanted to be done with the whole process before Xmas.)[/quote]

University of Wisconsin is a great idea, OP! [/quote]

NP-- Could you please say more about this?  What makes Madison a good school for kids with high stats?  Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to visit the mid-west at all.

You can do a search in this forum, but I can give a relatively short answer.  First, it is one of the great college and "outdoor" towns in the US, built on 4 lakes with an arboredum and other wooded areas great for running and walking right on campus. Second, the academics are great. They are not Michigan/UCLA/Cal great, but on the next tier and probably at the top of that next tier. Academically, the school is sink or swim, but high stats kids who are well prepared will do well there. They have a great engineering school and are building a new data science/Comp Sci facility - they understand academic trends and are responding to real world demands. Third, the school spirit if off the charts.[/quote]
