Anyone Just Skip Over "Top" Schools Even if Child Appeared Competitive?

<p>Let me throw this out there then since there are so many schools and we can’t visit every one and we have no personal network of people in the know. Setting aside many of the factors that reasonably are big concerns in most situations (financial aid, big name/lack of big name, location, likelihood of admission, record with college acceptance, sport etc.) so thinking just of the school feel and experience itself, do you have a few favorites?</p>
