[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawrence because it was too remote and Clark because it was too “gritty.” For second kid, Chicago and Northwestern because it was FREEZING the day we toured, Hopkins because it was too STEM/pre-med focused, Dartmouth and Amherst because, well, he didn’t really articulate. Then COVID shut all the touring down and he had to fly blind. Maybe a good thing given how easily turned off he was being. [/quote] Weather is what did MHC in, in the mind of my DC. The school is very strong academically, and really graduates leaders...but the weekend we visited (Accepted Students Day), it was bitter and sleeted. In May. That closed the door for her. (It was a bit of a fluke, but not unheard of.) That morning, she had seen kids in shorts and hammocks at a SLAC in PA. That school is where she wound up![/quote]
