报哪个学校呢？

又到了报学校的季节了， 记得当年告诉孩子们，

"Which one would you go if you are admitted to all the colleges you like?  Go ahead to apply to that one." It is your children's chance for their dreams.

 We did not care about the admission strategy at all.  We evaluated the college to check if it is a good fit for them assuming they are admitted.

Harvard is great, but not all children like it, plus it is not a fit for most children.  It is important to apply to a college which at least you and your children think they will thrive (not survive only).

Hopefully my thought process is helpful to you and your children.
