[/quote] Extracurriculars don't get you into top-notch colleges. Have to add an amazing GPA to that to even be considered for any of those colleges. Also, most people wanting to attend a college like that wouldn't wait until their senior year to decide. Most people wanting to attend a college like that prepare for YEARS to get in. They don't decide at the last second. Besides, most people also apply for more than one college when they apply. If she thinks she would even be considered, she should just apply to all.

Princeton and Yale are definitely near the top of the list for most majors as they are the top Ivies. Rice and Dartmouth are good schools, too, but check out the majors your sister is interested in to make sure they have a good program. Academically, University of Southern California is ranked pretty high, but the neighborhood around there is kind of bad. I haven't heard of Amherst or Wellesly. Don't bother applying to Stanfurd; it's not a really good school (you can probably guess which school I go to).

OT: USC is also known as "University of Spoiled Children" around here. Also, are you considering how much you're going to have to pay for some of these colleges? Or are you planning on a lot of loans/scholarships? o.o

Ah, since no one here got it - there is a huge rivalry between Cal and Stanford, and I'm just getting in the spirit.

[quote] aznseal : Education is priceless. [/quote] And I agree. TS might not/might not have considered it, so I thought I'd mention it anyways. You know, when people have high, high aspirations and then one little thing deters them? We don't know a lot about his current situation (other than his sister).
