[quote=Anonymous]I'm always amazed at people who encourage their high achieving kids to apply scattershot to "top schools." Even among "elite" northeastern schools you're going to get a very different vibe at different places. Not that kids won't find their way, and not that many aren't similar, but there ARE real differences. So, for example, I took my kid to visit Hamilton (which he loved) but we didn't consider Colgate. Bates but not Colby. Grinnell but not Swarthmore. If you are paying attention and have a few things that you care about above and beyond "reputation" you will find that there are reasons not to pounce on any and every "elite" school.[/quote]
