[quote=Anonymous]We did this and both my kids ended up at great schools. A highly ranked LAC and a well-regarded state school. We stressed fit over ranking/prestige when suggesting colleges. This should be the focus.Figure out what your kid wants regarding size, location, sports, academic majors/programs, distance from home, weather, etc. Based on our experience at a competitive public HS, kids will get plenty of input from peers about college searching/choices focused on rankings of colleges. One kid was less-focused and applied to a range of schools but ultimately chose the "best" (ranked) one. The other kid was very focused/particular and applied ED along with a couple safeties, got into the ED choice. [/quote]
