Here’s a good article about finding the right college. The article was published by US News and World Report, publisher of the lists that fuel the frenzy around college admissions. Maybe they are trying to make amends with this article. Here’s a summary:
“I hope, in this season of college tours, that families will explore broadly the many first-rate colleges to be found across the country—and that, rather than mourn a C or worry about whether their son or daughter will ‘get in’ one of those ultraselective schools, they will celebrate their child’s accomplishments and strengths and find the college that will welcome them with open arms because it is the right fit for both the student and the institution.”
