[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a 3.75 uw, 1500+, with near-maximum rigor at a top private feeder. High impact ECs and excellent writing. They're applying to health & society/public health and adjacent majors as a non-pre-med. Aiming for a T20 (non-HYPSM) -- do they have good chances? All anecdotes/feedback/input is appreciated![/quote]

So your kid doesn't care if they attend Brown, with an open curriculum, or Columbia, with very rigid multi-disciplinary requirements? They don't distinguish between Dartmouth's small and remote location versus Chicago's urban location? Or Harvard's Semester system to Northwestern's Quarter system? Maybe look at those and other  attributes rather than "T20"[/quote]

Most kids don’t care.  These differences are noise in terms of college experience.  Yes, some may find quarter system a little bit annoying but that’s all—they adapt to it in 1-2 quarters.  There are kids who may be more sensitive, yes that may eliminate 1-2 schools from the list.  No one is blowing this out of proportion.  [/quote]

These kids want a more social experience.
