Hmm tough if going to be in NYC after grad. Miami is up and coming but would do Fordham for alumni connections.

Totally agree with you.
I do feel Fordham is not ranked well recently. Personally I prefer to Richmond, but I just do not know which is better regarded in the business world between Richmond and Miami.
I immigrated to US about 10 year ago, and this is my only son which will go to college this year. I do not know much about colleges in the US.

Those are all so different. What does your DC want to study?

Gut response says UMD.

Need to visit - I know a few kids, including my own, who thought they preferred one school over the other and after visiting they thought the opposite.

For personality types:

Princeton if your DC is super, super self-assured, self-structured “straight and narrow” type. Not great for ND. Conservative

Duke good for athletes and Greek scene. Preppy

Yale of course has the above, but also a much, much larger mix of straight-up weirdos, which to me is a good thing.

UMD Honors (instate tuition and great engineering program, but not a great social fit at all)

Princeton (generous aid, Ivy, loves the campus, and residential housing, it's okay as far as social fit)

Northwestern (likes the campus, school culture, great social fit, and engineering program, but hates the weather)

Rice (the best social fit, loves the school culture, and student is a native Houstonian, but the engineering program is not the strongest out of the group)

Is student from Texas or MD?
