[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My DC is able to weed through data to find schools that check the boxes for majors etc and trying to get a good range of selectivity.  She is having a hard time trying to find schools that match the vibe she is looking for which is why I posted.

We already visited Georgia Tech - currently not considering it. She thought the Georgia Tech kids all looked somber - it was a nice day when we visited and there was almost no one outside enjoying themselves. That stood out. For state schools we have Penn state, UMD & Virginia Tech on the list to look at.

Her current school is a pressure cooker and not collaborative and she does not want a repeat in college. It has become toxic and she is coming to us for help in finding more collaborative college options.  She likes working on groups/bouncing ideas off others. Guidance counselor at HS is not helpful. Very different HS experience than my other DC who is at a different high school.

Is this Blair or TJ? I have a Blair kid who was in a similar place when applying.  Very happy at Brown.

I also posted upthread about Brown,  Olin, U Roch, WPI, RIT, Drexel etc[/quote]
