[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not focus on the school with the best fit rather than the most prestigious school? Your thinking is flawed.[/quote] Is there really a "best" fit? Most well rounded kids would be happy and successful at a lot of different schools. I think this 'best fit' thinking is causing a lot of unnecessary angst for kids. It is best to let them realize that there are many great paths into their future. Not too different from people who never marry because they are waiting for their "one true love" to find them.[/quote] I don’t think there’s only one great fit but of course some schools represent a much better fit than others. The culture at HYP are quite different if you’ve ever spent time on campus and they’re in turn very different from MIT, Brown, etc. Having gone through this process with two children I think it’s important not to imprint your opinion on their selection process.[/quote]
