[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything is overrated, it’s rankings.[/quote] I agree. Having gone through the search process with several kids, rank is the least important factor. They really all do teach pretty much the same things, with a few schools having unique programs, and serious students have great outcomes at all of them. But the main the differentiator is fit: class size, location, activities and real opportunity for your child to participate, the feel/vibe/sense of the place, campus, and on the academic side the strength at the granular level of particular programs your child wants. That's fit. I think some people don't find fit an issue because they mostly care about rank, or they have average personality type kids who can find fit among the majority crowd of any college anywhere. [/quote]
