Thank you for all of the responses and information. We are on the east coast and think son will stay in the northeast, with the possible exception of WashU, where his sister went. Schools we have on our “thinking about” list are University of Rochester, Lehigh, Bucknell, Wash U., Brandeis, UCONN (Honors), Carnegie Mellon. We are also considering a few smaller schools, Lafayette and University of Richmond. He has high SAT scores but we still want a few definite safeties which would be UCONN and possible Marist. We think his state flagship would be too big for him, we want a small to mid sized school. And he does not know whether he wants applied math or pure math, which is why I want him to have options. He will be taking AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics next year so that may help him think more about what he wants.
