[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are trying to understand what schools are the right fit, regardless of ranking.

DS is high stats (4.0 UW with as rigorous course load as anyone can be at his highly competitive HS, 1590 SAT first attempt), good EC's with leadership positions this year.

1. Interested in multiple subjects sciences, economics and linguistics.
2. Want to go to a school that is large, anything above 10,000 total students would be good
3. No real preference for rural/urban, visited both and likes different aspects of each
4. Full pay and any school is affordable

All the big schools seem to have all the majors, courses, clubs and career services available that he needs.

Say we are looking at UMD, U Pitt, UVA, Harvard and Yale, just as an example. All of them meet all the criteria and so do a ton of others.

I know there is no chance of getting into Harvard or Yale and I am asking this to understand the thought process. What other criteria can use to say UMD, Harvard, Yale, U Pitt or UVA are not a good fit. Is Harvard not a good fit for anyone on the off chance that they get admitted?

Harvard and Yale don’t have 10000 students, unless you don’t care about the undergrad vs grad distinction.

However, none of the grad students interact with undergrads…but they are a warm body.[/quote]
