[quote=Anonymous]Some great perspective in previous comments. I would add that given most (all?) schools, the majority of students do NOT end up at "elite" colleges. So, without knowing to what extent a student will meet the institutional priorities of the school (the ultimate metric), the question is will you be happy with a decision given the strong likelihood they don't get into the school of preference - or decide thats not an environment they would thrive in. Pick the one that is best for your child in terms of fit, mental health and educational opportunity. Do that you will be satisfied with this decision regardless of the outcome. Look up the MIT applying sideways blog post from several years ago. It's a gem.[/quote]
