Since this forum was such a huge help when my son was applying to USMA (current Yuck) I am reaching out for a bit of advice for the college search for my DS. She is not going the SA route, which is perfectly fine. (Not her cup of tea, let's say) So we are looking at several colleges. She has already gotten some acceptances and we are really starting to take a closer look at these schools. This is the hard part. How to compare? There are lots of websites out there, but the data doesn't seem to always be consistent. Where one school is rated as challenging, another website states it is not. Each school presents itself in it's very best light on it's website, during tours, etc. Review websites seem to be full of disgruntled students complaining about the food, horrible profs, etc, but those are far from reliable sources in my mind. So I thought I would come here for any advice you may have working through this process. We were blessed that our son focused on USMA from the start. He had his plan B & C and we knew what order they were in. Easy. Not so this time.....
