THIS! I thought D26 would love Bryn Mawr, but she had a similar reaction. They just talked up that kids gets jobs. It felt kind of weird - just very focused on the outcome versus what made them unique.
At any rate, D26 is likely to apply. She did the interview while we were there, and she loved Haverford, so the thinking is that there’s likely some similarities that might show up at an admitted students day if she gets in.
As for ones that got away, there are a couple of reach schools that I think have perfect programs for her that she’s just not interested in. She’s decided 100% not to apply to those, so my charms don’t work quite as well as I’d like!
