Oberlin was also closer to a safety for her than many kids because she had a strong family connection to the school (legacy + sibling). Also, American was a target-safety, because she wanted IR.
WM was ED1. If she’d been denied or deferred, Vassar or Bates were ED2 options (I think she would have chosen Vassar for ED2)
Kenyon and Macalaster were also on the mix for targets.
Carleton was also high on her list, but more in the target-reach category.
Also looked at Grinnell, Hamilton, Colby, Wesleyan, St. Lawrence, but passed for various reasons— mostly fit.
How did she get everything in on August 1? Our school counselors don’t start writing letters until September. Is it different at your school or did she get an exception?
