[quote=Anonymous]Fit is a personal choice, but it does matter no matter where you go. Sure, large universities hold more people, but their admissions departments still vet your ability to maintain a certain college culture.

It's kind of how at top LACs, you attract all these PhD track people, yet you have so many people at the ivies shoving to get into "prestigious" business careers. Even with both having top students with similar profiles, there's different tendencies to what students want. Telling a Swarthmore student you want to go into Banking will likely lead to a rolled eye and a lecture on ethics, meanwhile, telling a Wharton student you want to go into econ research instead of banking will give you some weird, tossed looks.
