CHECK OUT COLLEGES YOU MAY NOT HAVE CONSIDERED -- Both FORBES and US News and World Report have college ranking info. In addition to these, check the college websites for these programs - I know personally Rice U, SMU, Dartmouth, U of H all have these overnight programs your high school junior can participate to help decide on a good fit for them!
