If it were ME and I was going into the field... I would look at UT of course (I actually like Port Aransas) but I'd probably be more serious about UCSD, from what I have read the Scripps Institution there is even better than what A&M offers. I WOULDN'T look at Hawaii... which may sound strange. I LOVE Hawaii but once again, I have 2 or 3 friends who went to school there and I always get a slight sense of regret from them.

Fair enough. Like I mentioned before TA&M is her first choice right now based on what information she's been given. But it's not her only choice and she has some time but we'll probably want to start seriously looking at places in another year. In the meantime I'm on the prowl for all the info I can get so I really appreciate the honest input.
