[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think there is a disadvantage to the current trend that students should find the school that is the equivalent of their institutional “soulmate.” [/quote] I totally agree. I was listening to a college admissions podcast and there was an expert on who was a college admissions officer, then worked at a fancy HS in LA, then worked at a fancy international HS in China... anyway he said college "fit" is like a pair of jeans that at first doesn't feel perfect but then you kind of mold to it, it molds to you. It's so true! At a certain level, the depth and breadth of opportunities at universities is going to be amazing, and you as a student need to make the best of it and extrapolate value and experiences wherever you can. At the top 100+ schools, this wouldn't be a challenge, IMHO. It's not that there aren't some schools that you will vibe with more than others, but necessitating a soulmate connection is ludicrous.[/quote]
