Thank you, all! Very helpful.

@momcinco Rice was definitely on his list initially. It fell off as he’s excited about two other “southerns” – Vanderbilt and Duke, which have more of a sports culture. I’d love to be able to talk him into adding it back onto the list, as I know it’s a great size and outstanding academically. Can you speak to the school spirit of Rice? As for Rochester, I’m pretty sure he’d say it’s too remote (alas).

@gardenstatelegal re: Tufts . . . he’s more excited about BU (and perhaps, Harvard), which seemed to cover Boston in his mind – but I didn’t know about it’s relationship w NE Conservatory – will have him look into it. Thank you. And, yes, NerdNation is pretty much his ideal

@“Erin’s Dad” St Olaf – have never looked at it closely! Thank you. Will investigate now.

@ucbalumnus scholarships in the near term would help us fund graduate school – he’s aware of this . . . Thank you for the insight into the various UCs, all news to me. At this point, I’m guessing he’ll apply to the engineering schools, since it’s easier to switch out of them than it is into them.

I’ve done a lot of reading on this list the last week, and I’m worried his list is reach heavy. He’s not that excited about either UCSB or UCSD. He needs a few more matches, to my mind. Lately, he’s been talking about U of Miami . . . don’t know anything about it!
