My daughter will be a HS senior, 4.0 and 35 ACT. She does not want to try for Ivy because we can't afford to travel much and she doesn't want to be that far from home and not be able to visit (we are in MN). Her preferred school size would be between 2K and 12K students. We have visited Carleton and St. Olaf in MN, UW-Madison (too big) and Drake in Iowa (not as selective, I know, but she did like it.) We haven't gone to Grinnell yet - she wishes it were bigger. We are also thinking Loyola, University of Chicago and Northwestern. She will probably major in biology, biochem, engineering or math. Money is going to be a big factor when she chooses where to go - she's going to need some hefty grants for those schools! Anything I am missing? Chicago is probably about as far east as she'd want to go.
