and we see kids like this getting WL at schools like Loyola Marymount.
This is always my fear - most schools mentioned are highly rejective.
I think most schools today can find a data science like major - may not be called data science.
Even the best of the best get shut out from these type schools. And when one mentions outdoors - it can simply be access to I want to cycle all the time - and Ft. Lewis College would work, for example - and no that’s not a pedigree school.
But it can be a W&L or not, a Sewanee - there’s so many that would work that are great names (or not) - but maybe not the most highly rejective.
It would help if you could provide more context - ie GPA, rigor level, test scores - vs. saying very high. Very high means different things to different people.
