[quote=Anonymous]OP, it seems like you are trying to actually narrow your list or at least looking for help in sorting through options by determining which might be bad/good/better fits. And “fit” should absolutely be a thing students should strive to figure out when applying. But there are 4000 schools in the US. Many of them will be a good fit for any given kid. You don’t have to figure out whether UVA or UMD is the better fit (as an example) based on your list of criteria. Develop a solid list of 8-10 schools that your kid likes, with a couple of reaches like Yale and Harvard if those appeal (but yes - they are smaller than your target; you should consider undergrad enrollment, not total). Then, seriously, compare the “vibes” during visits to help choose between school he gets into. [/quote]
