[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please consider Oxford and Cambridge.  These schools will not care about your GPA.  They will look at your AP scores.  [/quote]If she has AP scores. Some of these private schools discourage them…[/quote]

I'd also say Oxbridge, if your kid is at all interested, would be an interesting shot.  Kid would need to take APs and get 5s.  Since most privates don't support APs, you'd want to look into that ASAP.  Kid who is scoring 1550 would probably have a good shot for 5s on some of the easier APs (Comp Sci, Micro or Macro, Human Geography); if student really is a math genius than Calc and Stat should be easy.  You can put off some APs until senior year, but then if the kid doesn't get the required 5s, the offer could be rescinded.

There's also a required math admissions test -- the TMUA that must be taken the fall of senior year. Seats for this test for US students can be tricky to find so plan ahead if you're considering. . . . .

The reason that Oxbridge -- I think Cambridge is the go-to for math in particular -- would be an interesting call is that your DC would have ZERO gen ed requirements. No foreign language. No history.  DC could concentrate 100% on math. Plus, the campuses are gorgeous, the students are vibrant, and the traditions are rich.
