For highly selective college admission, the “fit” that matters is whether the college’s admission readers see you was a “fit” from the college’s point of view, which may be very different from what you may think of how well the college “fits” you. For example, a JHU admission reader may not find the 50,000th pre-med applicant (who sees JHU as a “fit” for them) to be that interesting, but an application from one aiming for a less common field of study there with everything supporting that aim may be more interesting to read.
