[quote=Anonymous]There is no perfect fit. It’s a myth. Out of the 4,000 to 6,000 institutions in America, DCUM parents’ kids usually apply to 10-15. Miraculously, every year, those moms come back on here to brag that their kid “found their own people” and “fit”. It’s like buying a car. After you do, you tell everyone how great is is (I do like my KIA). Don’t believe them. Use common sense. First, what can you afford? Every seasoned college counselor should start with that. Do not show your child a school they cannot afford. Then start with the obvious and tout an affordable university and an affordable slac and ask your child which they prefer. Read everything you can about college admissions. Go to College Confidential and Reddit and read. But, frankly, if I could do undergrad applications again I would hire a highly referred by-the-hour (not package) college counselor.[/quote]
