[QUOTE="Illwinsagain, post: 1345106, member: 17817"] OK, my brilliant daughter is a Jr. in HS and already knows what she wants to do in life. Amazing, since I hadn't figured out what I wanted to do yet. She wants to study Chemistry, (and expects to get at least a masters), her goal is research. I see rankings all over the place. Yes, her favorite, MIT, is 1-4 in every ranking, but getting in there is quite difficult, as I am sure you all know. Only a 7% acceptance rate, and nearly all the kids applying are brilliant. And Stanford does not qualify as a safety school. Besides being a research chemist, her other goal is to get out of the state of Illinois. A pity, since it appears that 3 of the best chemistry schools in the country are here (UI, UC, NW), additionally, one is more affordable than anything else she is looking at (I-L-L....). Getting back to the point, any suggestions of what is considered the best ranking service? Many of the lists seem quite subjective. [/QUOTE]
