<p>Proud mom,
What are your daughter’s stats in regard to GPA and ACT/SAT? I was thinking that there may be some advantage to attending a school like Auburn over Yale/Duke, etc. The kids are so brilliant at those very top schools, that there may be a danger of feeling inadequate in comparison with others. Not that Auburn doesn’t have it’s share of top students, but at least there is also a pretty good share of kids in the 3.5 GPA and 27 ACT range. It isn’t all bad to be somewhat of a “big fish in a small pond.”</p>
