Hi Jason:

___For as long as I have been posting here, I don’t remember what you were considering as a major? With that, I suspect your Activities/Grades/ACT/SAT’s are exemplary so you should choose a school with the best reputation in that particular field. Engineering as an example would include MIT, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin - Madison, any of the large California technical Universities. I am going by memory and it has been a very long time since I was interested in such things … The school rankings on a field of study basis are published in just about any well written and exhaustive college entrance article as far back as I can remember. I have a feeling your parents as well as yourself have already spent an agonizing amount of hours reviewing similar. My oldest son graduated with a Bio-Chem/Biology degree out of the University of Illinois just 6 months ago. Wisconsin-Madison might have been a better choice as far as reputations are concerned for that field but not at another $10K/year it wasn’t

___Finally, it was Stanford’s loss imho!

___Good Luck with wherever you finally attend.
