[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD ended up at her safety - by choice - and it's been a terrific fit for her. She's in her third year and loves her program, her teachers, and is doing really well academically and socially. She got a nice merit aid package when she was accepted which sealed the deal for her. It's not the name brand SLAC she originally had her eyes on, but I'm proud of her for weighing all her options and making the best choice for her.[/quote]
I love seeing stories like this. The smart play is 'fit' over 'prestige'. Great for your daughter and her future.

Thanks for your kind words. She went to a competitive private (non big 3) and the college counseling program was amazing. They reinforced the notion that every kid should love their safety. I never pushed her towards a particular school or track, but it's pretty hard to avoid the super competitive atmosphere in DC. She has zero regrets, and financially it's such a win and gives her lots options for grad school. [/quote]
