[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one I know is worried about "social fit" when picking a school. That is absurd.[/quote] Yeah, if you don't have a kid who's any of the following: (1) URM, (2) LGBT, (3) neurodivergent, (4) physically disabled, (5) lives far from campus.[/quote] Let me add- Anxious Artsy Selectively mute Shy I have one anxious and one selectively mute child. Both have IQs 135+ and would do fine with academics everywhere. We intentionally chose schools that were not the most academically rigorous (lower pressure, broader student body profile) with smaller environments that would help them socially. The more anxious kid will (most likely) graduate valedictorian this year. The selectively mute kid is popular and outgoing at school. I couldn't have imagined a better learning experience (academically and socially) than what we have. Social fit is more important than academic fit to us.[/quote]
