<p>Several have mentioned that Harvey Mudd might be high-match to match level, if that interests your daughter, have her look at Scripps as well. Admissions are slightly less competitive, but she’d be studying with the Mudd students and Scripps has a great reputation for getting their alumnae ready for graduate and professional schools.</p>

<p>Saismom and whenhen…We are in a similar situation, but my D’s interest is in neuroscience. We are also Florida residents, with Florida prepaid, but want a smaller school feel. I’d be interested in any other input you have discovered (positive or negative) about UF, FSU and other Florida schools.</p>

<p>Definitely check out Case Western. Its a great safety school because it’s free to apply. As an athlete here I also must note that a lot of the teams are very competitive.</p>

<p>@sysdawg- DD has heard from Caltech via email way back in freshman year after she took the PSAT for practice. Specifically, she heard from the track coach. This year, she heard from the swim coach as well which is odd because swim is just her “keeping in shape” sport so not really sure why they would contact her. @casestudent yes we have gotten some mailing from Case as well. Is it true that the campus is not very attractive and somewhat industrial? Do you know anything about their track and field team? @ BossyMommy- I have never heard of Scripps so will check that out next.</p>

<p>Mudd is never a “match”, even for a qualified female candidate. It might be a low reach, though, for the OP’s daughter. Also… Scripps students can take classes at Mudd, but they do not get the full Mudd core experience. If she really is interested in STEM, she would be much better off attending Mudd if possible.</p>

<p>Sorry but some of these terms have confused me a bit! Is a “high reach” a highly unlikely fit
whereas a “low reach” is somewhat closer to a possibility but not a match?</p>
