[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d check out the honors programs at LAC with solid math/science departments and state universities. Honors programs can be like a school within a school with smaller classes, separate housing, and special opportunities. While the school’s name may not be as prestigious as MIT, she may have opportunities as one of the high-flyers in an honors program that she wouldn’t as just another student at MIT, while still having a peer group of other smart, studious kids. Ultimately, I think most schools can provide a motivated student with more opportunities than they can take advantage of, and that what a student does at school is more important than which school they attend. The key element is to find the school that excites your child and makes her want to dive in. The “best” school for one person isn’t necessarily the “best” school for the next.
