[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or, maybe just maybe, they are ALL great schools and the majority enjoy their time, and some small portion don’t. It really doesn’t have to one to the other. With the amount of colleges and universities in the US, quibbling over a handful of schools seems insane to me.  [/quote]

I don't think it's quibbling. I think it can affect the student culture and pervade student life. If I had a sophomore or junior, I'd want to be more strategic with an ED to one of these schools (I have a current senior, who did ED to one of these schools and was deferred).

For the person who mentioned Emory, I don't get that as their general culture or vibe AT ALL. So I wouldn't include it. Perhaps Williams and CMC make sense. I'm sure other SLCACs too - what about Middlebury?

Brown
Dartmouth
Vanderbilt

I said that as a person who already posted why their child chose Brown. I have no doubt HYP was a better choice for someone else for their own reasons. Quibbling to me is trying to justify why one is better than another. It’s not, it’s down to each student and their own preferences. My own loves Brown, I’ve just never felt like I had to disparage other schools in the process which some on here seem to do and I wish they wouldn’t.[/quote]
