[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes, the best college for you is not necessarily the best college you can get into.[/quote] OMG yes. My senior got accepted into a top 50 school last night, with a little merit money, even. Definitely higher ranked than the other schools where she was accepted. But I’m starting to think that two of the lower-ranked schools she got into will be much better for her as an individual. [/quote] Our DD fell in love with a LAC in the 75-100 range, got accepted with generous merit and wants to put down a deposit, like, [i]yesterday[/i]. Still waiting to hear from W&M but doesn't think she'd like it there ("too much stress") and wouldn't go anyway. After a hellish, pressure-filled four years of HS (with her senior year being all virtual), I can understand her point of view. Let it go, parents.[/quote]
