Interesteddad: Once again, you come through with great information and analysis. I am very grateful that you are on this board. Katie once had her heart set on Swarthmore, and, all things being equal, I am pretty sure it would still be her first choice. She says she clicked with the students there. Fortunately, she also clicked with some kids at Chicago, and we’ll see what happens at Grinnell. We’ll be sitting down soon to line up costs, academic programs, social life, and other QOL factors. It will be a difficult decision, but I think she will do well at any of the schools.
Hanna: Good point. We’ll see what she says when she gets home from Grinnell.
