I personally believe that there are two kinds of fit. The first is subjective but can be measured by objective factors. For example, a student might hate cities. That student should not go to Pitt. Pitt is not a fit (ha!) for that student.</p>
<p>The second type is the completely subjective assessment of feelings or impressions. This is the one I think is bogus or at least overhyped. Visiting and feeling warm and fuzzy or falling in love with pictures on the school website or those kinds of things.</p>
