[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If so, which ones? Based just on reputation, it seems UCLA and Berkeley are too large and "sink or swim", the other UCs are too expensive for OOS students, Caltech is too hard and cutthroat, Stanford is too impossible, Claremont Colleges are too small or too niche. What are other schools that east coast families found have to be worth long the trip to visit in person? DC is a high stat junior at a top private; above are schools college counsellor and friends of older kids mentioned for campus tours. [/quote] missed a few good ones: USC (#28), Pepperdine (#84), University of Santa Clara (#59). All in very desirable locations. A typical path of a successful academic is: BS (west coast or east), PhD (east coast or west), Faculty (wherever you desire to live). [/quote] Academics almost never have a choice in where they want to live. They're fully following the market.[/quote]
