We all joined our organizations because we obviously wanted more than just the educational experience that college has to offer. That's the truth.

To expand this train of thought, many great yet very different schools have fabulous programs in the same major. My D was undeclared yet had her eye somewhat on a particular major. Many, many schools had very strong depts in her particular field of study and were well within her profile based on GPA, standardized test scores, ECs yet she easily limited her school applications to 5 nationally RUs and 2 nationally ranked LACs.
When a student chooses a school, he or she may consider and then prioritize it on reputation of major, prestige of school, cost of school, location, size, gender percentage, ethnicity percentages, and a myriad of other factors. While prestige and tier ranking may be paramount in one student's decision, proximity to home and cost to mom and dad may be more important to a different applicant.
