Pls suggest 2 each for reaches, targets, safeties for this student

[Anonymous]

- Ideal small to medium-sized interdisciplinary college in a city or suburb
- chemistry major, also wants to take classes in AI and applied math
- wants high exposure to professors and research opportunities
- has strived in high rigor environment but doesn’t want the kind of place where fun goes to die or everyone is studying for grades
- collaborative, highly intellectual culture where students love learning, not all about jockeying for IB connections or the next IPO opportunity
- Female, unhooked, non URM, from a top private, full pay, quiet nerdy but has lot of friends
- 1580, 3.88 from a school that’s known for rigor/doesn't grade inflate (no one gets a 4.0), decent ECs (STEM leadership, part time job year round, volunteer year round, some regional math and writing awards)

William & Mary seems like it could be a great fit!

[Anonymous]

Brown is one of her reaches.

[Anonymous]

As a reach, Rice. If it's her top choice, ED.

[Anonymous]

GPA weighted or unweighted?

If you have some EC in arts, try Yale.

Sorry, no hope for H and P.

Apply to Stanford and MIT anyway.

I love how every post feels compelled to point out that their private school does not inflate grades. The fact is, virtually all schools do, private or public.

You are not serious right?

No one gets 4.0 vs 20% straight A?

CMU and rice as reaches (just because the rate is so low, I’m sure your kid would fit right in), Case and wake as targets, Lafayette as safety.

[Anonymous]

My almost frighteningly similar-sounding DD is looking at Brown (reach), W&M (target), Mary Washington (safety).

[Anonymous]

Reach: Northwestern, Tufts
Target: U Rochester

Brown: no advantage for girls.

[Anonymous]

Reaches: Brown, Yale, Harvey Mudd, Stanford (stay away from Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, Harvard, Duke).

Targets: Hamilton, Haverford, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Bates, Davidson, Wake, W&M

Safeties: Beloit, St. Olaf, Denison, Kenyon, Colby

(Given stats and a small elite private school, these targets are different than what many would suggest for a public school student).
