[quote=Anonymous]Academically she’ll be fine. The question is whether it’ll be the right fit socially.  Our two oldest kids were high-stats, athletic recruits and legacy admits to one of the top-ranked SLACs.  They were happy as clams and did did quite well academically.  Our youngest, also an athletic recruit and a legacy, was a solid student in HS.  We know she would have been just fine academically at the legacy school because our older kids had friends who fit that profile ( as did DH back in the day, when he was a student there). I mean, she wasn’t going to be transformed into a Marshall Scholar, but no question she would have been able to handle the workload.  (Caveat: she has excellent time-management and study skills, and is the kind of kid who goes to profs’ office hours and creates study groups— certainly the best “student” of our three.). She questioned whether it was the right place for her socially, though, and ended up choosing another NESCAC school that is not as highly-ranked, but definitely more chill.  She’s now a sophomore and we can see the wisdom of her choice.  [/quote]
