China:

It’s a psychological tight rope. A smart kid really can’t allow him or herself to go ga-ga over one particular college because they know they might not get accepted. Picturing himself happy at several different colleges is a much healthier (and probably realistic) approach.

Swarthmore was a very clear first choice for my daughter and she applied Early Decision after two campus visits. However, she would have been happy at Vassar or any number of other colleges.
