We're waiting for SATs as well! Kid2 said that collegeboard is posting scores on Thursday. He is much more nonchalant about this than was his sister.

Going far away to a college isn't an issue as long as the kid is near a major airport (with easy access to the airport from campus) and summer storage either on or near campus so parents don't have to schlep the stuff back and forth each year. The boy has a couple of midwest schools on his list. One would be very easy since it's in a city that has nonstop service to all 3 airports near DC. The other school, not so much as it is an hour from a small airport and 2 hours from a big one.



Is your D regarding University of Chicago as a safety school or does bottom of the list reflect her preference of campuses in terms of campus fit? It's a shame that schools like Chicago, Penn, and other urban schools in iffy areas haven't been able to gentrify their neighborhoods so that students can venture off campus safely.
