Completely agree with post 121! D20 only applied to LACs and Brandeis, choosing every school very carefully. We visited many schools twice, looking for nuances and fit. Several schools were listed as peer institutions of the others. Despite the fact that many people say Colgate and Bucknell could be twins, we didn’t find that to be the case. D loved one, absolutely hated the other. We thought she would have loved Amherst and she practically ran screaming to the car after about 5 minutes. The point is your D needs to do virtual sessions, maybe more than one at each school and ask lots of questions! When she finds the contenders, she will know for sure and be able to put her efforts into showing how she can contribute.
