These alone are wildly different, but all good for the right kid. A different kid could have picked Penn (Ivy), Drexel (good for STEM), Swarthmore (highly selective LAC), and Bryn Mawr (women's college).
Do a few easy visits, and if your kid has a burning desire to see a school that requires a flight or a day off from school, you can be selective about those.
