[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boys love Williams and do well there. Vanderbilt has frats -- not what I'd choose but perhaps your kid disagrees. [/quote] But I think it's very unusual for students to apply to both Vanderbilt and Williams. [/quote] It's not at all unusual. Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore are super prestigious, many consider them HYP level undergrad education. Given the crapshoot that is admissions, the decision tree is not figuring out type of institute you'd like and applying only there, it is instead applying to the best institutions you have a shot at and figuring out later whether you want small/large, city/rural based on the admits you get and their rankings. [/quote] Exactly. I know a kid who was obsessed with Williams. Applied early, was deferred and then didn't get in. Ended up at Duke and loved it. They seem incredibly different but he likely could have been happy at either one.[/quote]
