[quote=Anonymous]Be realistic and understand what an acceptance rate of under 10% means. Pick a place to do some visits, but not at top30 schools, but rather a location - visit the 5 schools in Philadelphia or pick 5 in Boston, with stops at some of the rural campuses. Start thinking about size (small/medium/large) and setting (urban/rural/suburban) Geography - is winter weather a plus or minus? Do they want to be within a few hours of DC or get the heck out of Dodge? It may be that your kid has no interest in things like saturday football games or big schools....that cuts a lot of schools off the list. It may be that your kid wants a warm weather, small school. That cuts a lot off the list. Narrowing down those parameters will provide a lot of guidance, regardless of the name of the school.[/quote]
