I don't think that most people that go there are even from the west coast.

World rankings

Edit to add that Duke is higher than I thought. It's definitely top tier so I was wrong.

Cal is ranked higher than Yale in """World Rankings"""?

Thanks . . . but I'll pass on that list.

As someone who's actually got experience with the selective college environment, I always try to post in these threads.

I'll go ahead and blow some minds here: LINK

That's a board where high schoolers (who are more involved/obsessed with school than anyone on this board can dream) post their resumes and what schools they get into. That thread is for Princeton. In it, plenty of people with absolutely ridiculous scores/activities get rejected.

Moral of the story: You shouldn't even be worrying about any of this until she's applied to a bunch of schools and thinks she has a chance of getting in, which will be after New Years.

Yes, assuming she is involved in school extracurriculars and can write well, she'll probably have a chance at all schools with a 35 and being from MS. Make sure she looks into the requirements for each school. I couldn't apply to a bunch of Ivies because of not taking the SAT Subject Tests, which was irritating.

She will most likely get into schools around Vanderbilt's level for sure. That is also a must better choice than Rhodes. When you have a strong student like her, you either pay for an elite school, or you go for free to an average one. DO NOT pay 11k a year for a school like Rhodes. That would be stupid.

Yes.

And?

I scored a 33, but my GPA was a 3.1

I should have done better on both counts, but I was (and still am) a rather unmotivated individual when it comes to academics. I was more concerned with how stoned I could get and how much money I could make as a bookie.

lol...I was a very unmotivated student. My chief interest at Florida State was how much beer I consume (I went when the legal age was 18!) and how much pussy I could destroy. Needless to say academically Florida State was happy to see me leave when I did.

I will disclose a little something. My wife graduated from Harvard. Her brother went to Yale, and his wife went to Harvard. Her dad went to MIT. my wife got a 1600 on her SAT. The only Ivies she didn't get into were the ones she did not apply to.

whoa...that's a pretty damn smart woman you have there.

Mine had the grades but not the income so she went to Boston U instead.
