[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point? I don't think I have a dream school. I think any number of schools would have worked for me.

I "dreamed" of an Ivy when I was a kid, but didn't get in. Went to Wake Forest, though, and that turned out to be a great fit for me (even as a liberal Yankee). It was the Goldilocks school - not too big, not too small, but it also had Division I athletics. The campus was so pretty - definitely sold me when I visited. I made great friends and likely would have made the same choice all over again.

In visiting schools with my daughter, I have liked schools with a well defined campus but near other amenities

Someone mentioned honors colleges at state schools. University of Delaware sold the top kids at my parochial HS HARD on theirs 30 years ago. They kept pulling all of us out of classes to talk to us about it. I actually got very annoyed with them, because I had zero desire to stay home to go to school. I didn't even apply as a safety, which was highly unusual for my class. That said, I had applied to JMU as an OOS student, and they asked me to apply to theirs. I did and would have attended had I not gotten the yes from Wake. I think there are some advantages/benefits to honors colleges, but not sure the honors college is enough reason to go to the OOS school. YMMV[/quote]

Ha, I went to Wake as a liberal Californian and loved it as well![/quote]
