<p>dadx3,</p>
<p>I understand and respect your point of view. My S chose not to apply to highly competitive LACs because he felt that most were too politically homogenous for him to feel comfortable, especially in a small school.</p>
<p>I’d like to take the last sentence in your first paragraph and substitute the word college for job because this sums up how we feel about the issue.</p>
<p>Unless the college being applied for is a political college, politics don’t really fit into the college interview.</p>
