Is the right fit really possible?

It depends on how picky you are.

Someone with relatively loose constraints may find that a large number of colleges are as close to the “perfect fit” as can be, and many more which are good or acceptable fits.

But a very picky person may find very few or even no colleges that are a good or even acceptable fit. This is even more true if his/her academic achievements and/or financial constraints impose significant limits on what colleges s/he can get admitted to and can afford to attend.
