Chance me threads are idiotic and worse than useless. Asking on the Parents Forum for help with your child’s list is a heck of a lot more sensible than using the USNWR as your resource.

And you said why Olin, Mudd and Cal don’t work for your son, but you said nothing about Ohio State or Purdue. Purdue in particular–the kid I know there now desperately wanted MIT, got turned down there and everywhere except Purdue, and now says he couldn’t have a better hands-on experience. His high school grades were weak because he spent too much time doing robotics work, but between that and a couple of summers spent as an intern at a NASA center (again, robotics work), he is a shining star.
