Finalizing list for CS + music D23 -- good ones we're missing?

My daughter is in her first year at WPI (double majoring in computer science and interactive media game design). On paper (and virtual info sessions since we’re in California), U of Rochester seemed like the perfect school for her. She’d gotten in EA to WPI but wasn’t planning to visit until we decided to visit Rochester and a couple other east coast schools she got into.

After visiting, Rochester (and Wesleyan) dropped completely off her list (thankfully since they gave very little or no merit), while WPI shot to the top (Pitt stayed up on the list and was one of my favorites). In the end, it was the vibe of students and campus that really made the difference for her. She felt she found her people at WPI (and happily still feels that way).

Your daughter sounds like an amazing kid and looks like she has a great list. Good luck!
