[quote=Anonymous]For those criticizing the OP, I think it is perfectly normal to feel disappointed or to worry. Good fit is of course important, but many of us think that our kids, faced with a new experience, can create a good fit in a wide range of places. Our kids haven’t had a chance to explore how wide the world can be. And, depending on the child’s interests, major and eventual career path, where the child goes to college can make a difference. I am not saying it is a huge, earth shattering difference. But it can make a difference. We may not like that, it may not be true, and we all may have many examples of people going to lower ranked schools and doing extraordinarily well. Still, on balance, the odds may be better to go to a more prestigious school. And I think that ignoring that possibility is not helpful.[/quote]
