[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is dumb enough to prefer Miami for it's weather - I say go for it, make the change and open up a spot for some smarter and clearly more deserving kid to Harvard.[/quote] Harsh, but not totally inaccurate. OP's son is thinking very short term. [/quote] I cannot understand why anyone would select a college based on weather rather than academics. Aren't we talking about education rather than club med? That said, the only kids I know who struggled at Harvard were the athletes. Not all of them of course, but maybe this kid knows he's not cut out for the top academic environment in the world or just doesn't want to do the work.[/quote] My kid has the stats for University of Chicago but I would never encourage DC to apply their. The weather is freezing and depressing. Same with University of Michigan.[/quote]
