[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea of fit is so overblown. Campuses have vibes, yes, but that doesn't mean that the same student couldn't love them both.

And anyway- Duke is comp to Dartmouth, Dartmouth is comp to Brown. It's not so far off. You're not picking a vacation spot, it's a different thing.

Can the same student love Grinnell and NYU, and feel they both have a lot to offer? Yes. Definitely.

Enough with the posts disagreeing with the question anyhow. Don't click on it, just move on.[/quote]

This can be true - but for some kids, after getting acceptances and then going to visit....you see the schools in a new light and can pay attention to more details than you did when you were considering which lottery tickets to buy!  I know for my kids, weather would make a huge difference at these schools - one favoring cold and the other warm. Similarly, one would love big sports and the other not care.  Personalities of these schools are different.  It's not saying OPs DC will suddenly hate a school that they chose to apply to....it's just saying that now that they get a real choice, visits may very well sway clearly in one direction or another.

OP - I hope the visits help and congrats to your DC.[/quote]
