[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not highly ranked enough for you but William and Mary has a lot of similarities to Rice.

Caltech too if your kid is STEM focused.[/quote]

DC's super nerdy personality may be a fit at Caltech (and she has the stats for it) but assume it's out of reach for someone without national-level competition ECs and it's another where-fun-goes-to-die school, no?[/quote] It's a bit easier for girls because they keep a 50/50 ratio despite it being much more popular among boys, but it definitely is a school with very little going on besides academics. But if she feels it may be a fit, she should apply for Caltech Up Close next year (assuming she's a junior currently) - if she's a senior, try to visit some other way.

Overall the tradeoff is not worth it for most students in my mind due to how many very strongly academic schools with much better social lives are available in the US to Caltech-caliber students.

What are her potential majors/interests?[/quote]
