[quote=Anonymous]Here's a different perspective - My DS went to one of the "Top 7" schools in the area and wanted to major in Physics/Math. The counselor and I encouraged him to visit MIT, CalTech, etc. which he did. After visiting, he said it seemed like the kids were miserable and hyper-focused and he didn't want to have that type of college experience. He applied and was accepted to a smaller, strong science college, had a great experience and is now employed by a wonderful medical-tech firm. Bottom line - college counselors can't make students apply to HYP's if they don't want to. And if students don't apply, the schools can't end up on the college list. [/quote]
