I completely agree. But six months post-decision doesn't necessarily guarantee a mature perspective.
Even though Lee loved-loved-loved Deep Springs when he visited as a finalist, after he was rejected and enrolled at NYU, he became convinced that he wouldn't have fit in at DS after all. I don't think fit is that elusive; one person can be a good fit at lots of different schools, and just because you're happy at the school you're at, doesn't mean that you wouldn't also have been happy--or even happier, or happy in an entirely different way--at a different school.

Wow, that was a convoluted sentence.
