[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid sounds great. Best of luck!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is helpful. It's helpful in the reverse.[/quote]

Agreed. These are the schools DD avoided like the plague. [/quote]

Your virtue has been duly signaled. Please move on.[/quote]

PP here. Why do you criticize this comment as virtue signaling? I was agreeing with an earlier poster that this post is useful in different ways for different kids because they are all looking for different things. One kid's dream school is another's h*ll no. Earlier in this thread, I suggested a specific school with a "bro" culture for the OP to look at. It wasn't for my kid based on the feel, but it's a great school and it may be a good fit for OP's kid.

This is a good post and good comments, don't derail it by denigrating other posters.[/quote]

The post isn't about your kid, who was clearly looking for something else in a college. So I'm not sure why you'd mention your kid at all. In any event, when you say that she avoided the same schools that might fit OP's kid "like the plague," it suggests some modicum of contempt, does it not? What purpose did that serve? It may not have been your intention, but it comes off as a proclamation that your kid has superior values.

Other that, I agree that it's a useful thread and I (unsarcastically) think it's good that you previously offered a helpful suggestion. [/quote]
