[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what you are seeing in the "too big/too small," discussions etc., is not people looking for a universally acceptable school. They are asking questions trying to get a sense for what schools are really like (especially this year when no one can actually visit the schools) and people are giving opinions. The person asking is looking for the right fit for their own kid. Too big for Goldilocks was Just Right for Papa Bear.[/quote]

+1 I have two kids who will likely go to completely different types of schools. Only commonality in their search is our budget and a dislike of urban campuses.  Senior only applied to big state schools and is pre-professional focused. He was clear on what he liked and only applied to a handful of schools. Sophomore (who's come along on the touring and discussions so already has some clear ideas of what she wants) prefers a small school with a strength in research opportunities and faculty mentoring because she wants to pursue a science PhD.  I expect she'll apply widely to LACs to see what merit she can get + a couple in-state public options.[/quote]
