Positivity: suggest next-to-top CS schools for high scores kid

<p>DS. got into into Mudd in 2010. He was an unhooked geek (and musician) with near perfect stats But that was the year they changed the scholarship to be holistic instead of using slam-dunk stats criteria, so he didn’t attend. At the time I followed the Mudd threads pretty closely, and competition was so tough that it was not clear to us whether he’d get accepted. Outside of CC, few appreciated that this his acceptance to “Harvey Who?” was an accomplishment. </p>

<p>I also researched R-H closely. What a great school! But like CF’s nephew, he wouldn’t consider Indiana. </p>
