<p>Greetings from Normal, IL! I thought I would never see an ISU thread here but I guess I was wrong.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am a Senior at UHigh, the high school run by ISU. I did research in the chemistry department this summer (biochem…Dr. Marjorie Jones) and my overall impressions are that it is a very solid department. If you are motivated and talk to the professors they will give you so many opportunities for research. I have friends who took classes there as high school students and they had very good experiences. With a 30+ ACT she will be among the top 10% of students there and will thus get more opportunities for research and better letters of recommendation than she would at UIUC where you need to be 33+ to be considered top 10%.</p>
<p>If you have more questions about ISU or Normal just ask.</p>
