<p>I have a little trouble following most of your posts, mom. But if you think I don’t have enormous regard for Princeton … well, rest easy: I do. And despite what an earlier poster - mzhang23 - implies, I think Princeton, as Harvard, enjoys a “commanding reputation.”</p>
<p>And I endorse 100% the sentiment that any kid admitted to more than one school should visit before deciding.</p>
<p>I similarly agree - and have stated many, many times - that most kids will be prefectly happy no matter <em>where</em> they end up at college. For this reason, I think the whole concept of “fit” is much overdone; college students tend to “fit” pretty well wherever they end up matriculating.</p>
