<p>XXO - There have been many discussions about fit, but I wasn’t able to find a thread dedicated to that specific topic. If you go to the main MT forum page and click on the “Search This Forum” option and type in “good fit” you can go back and read posts where that has been discussed. Lots of interesting reading there! I found this particular thread to have some good discussion about that issue:

<p>As your D identifies the attributes she most wants in a program, she can start building a good list of schools that most closely match what she wants. She may start with a list of 15 or 20 schools. l think my D’s original list had 22 schools on it - but it didn’t have the school she ended up choosing LOL - so be prepared to be flexible and open-minded as the process moves along! She can narrow the list as she looks more closely at things like the curriculum, the faculty, performance opportunities, study abroad options, location, BFA/BM/BA degree, etc. Best of luck!</p>
