[quote=Anonymous]10 notches on the current rankings almost certainly won’t make a difference (unless the higher-ranked school is something unique like MIT). So set aside the rankings AND the money. Of the two, which feels like a more authentic fit for your DC’s personality? Where do you see them being the most comfortable and happy outside the classroom for these next four years? (Peers, weather, sports/clubs, location/proximity to home, vibe - whatever matters to them) In the end, kids will be more engaged at college if they’re comfortable and happy with their peers and the vibe of the school. This is super important when it comes to relationships with professors, advisors, aolder students who can share advice about classes and career/internship/research opportunities etc. Every school has fantastic “extra” opportunities for kids who are engaged and proactive. Choose the school where your DC is more likely to be that kid. [/quote]
