Sybylla, I would typically agree with that, but knowing my daughter, the only option for in-state or in our reciprocity schools is UW- Madison or UMinn (for a high quality business school). Walking a mile to class in snow boots might send her over the edge. We lived in Florida for 3 years, and she honestly just is not willing to do the winters here anymore. They are brutal. She is going to focus on studying and bringing up her test scores so she can get what she wants.
She is going to apply to UW Madison and if things don’t work out, that is probably where she will go, but I want to help her.
