[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is interested in a college with a big school atmosphere, like Big Ten colleges.  I get that and am not dissuading her from this.  She has the qualitative qualifications for an Ivy and we want to explore a few for her to apply to as well.  One of the many considerations will be the school atmosphere. I understand they have different atmospheres than Big Ten schools, but which one do you think is the closest to the Big Ten atmosphere?[/quote]

So why not apply to a Big-10 school ?

Lots of great options in the Big-10.  Best fit is the most important metric when selecting where to attend (or where to apply).[/quote]

Op here - she is planning on applying to at least 4 Big 10 schools, probably more.  There will be a reach, at least a few targets and some safeties in there.  But she isn't interested in small schools, has room for more on her list and has expressed interest in a few Ivies because she knows there are other great characteristics about them, putting aside her love of Big 10 atmosphere.  If she won the Ivy lottery, she would then have to decide which is more important to her.  We are the epitome of a Big 10 family with at least 6 schools represented in larger family structure and the pull is strong.

Thanks for all the guidance in the thread.  [/quote]
