[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]&lt;&lt;Not every TJ parent is gunning for the most prestigious college sticker to put on their car. Some of us are looking hard at kids interest, talents, needs and fit. You do you. My kid will be fine.&gt;&gt;

Yah, I want to hang out with this other parent: he/she is reflecting our family's approach exactly.

We would just substitute MoCo for TJ in the quoted passage!  My child selected the least prestigious of the 7 schools he got into. And I totally support his decision: it was clearly the best fit all around.[/quote]
What is your kid like and which school proved to be the best fit?  Curious how he researched and found this school. Our priorities are similar to yours. Our kids might be different but would love some insight into how you researched schools and your decision making process once he had 7 acceptances
FWIW my kid wants a LAC (small or mid sized) which has a strong biology program. Wants a Northeast/mid Atlantic college where kids are serious and intellectually curious but does not want a pressure cooker. It does not have to be a top 20 school but He wants a school that places students into top graduate schools. He has excellent stats and very good ECs[/quote]
