We’re in VT and I’m so relieved my S23 has decided UVM could be a possibility, since that may be where he ends up. He wants NYU too, but likely similar SAT and lower GPA since a 4.0 in our school is something like 98-100. He wants music and culture based on a few short visits to Montreal and Boston. I would say Burlington is not a high fashion city! And limited for culture and diversity. But beautiful and so much easier to get around in. And liberal on fire lol. Coming from LA has your daughter considered weather? Long winters here and in Montreal.
My son read that McGill doesn’t have many student dorms, but I will have to confirm. He’s not ready for a full city experience! His brother didn’t care about location but ended up with the best deal at BU, so we’ll learn from his experience starting there this fall.
