Kid#2, applied to 4, 1 ED and 3 EA, had an ED #2 ready to go and was thinking about several RD. Accepted ED and withdrew the 3 EA |

DS applied to 7 and got into 6- all but his high reach.
Older DD (outside your 3 year window) applied to maybe 14 and was accepted to maybe 9 or 10– she applied to more reaches, but also got into two reaches… |

| Applied 9. In 8, waitlisted at 1. |

| The general advice is to have a balanced list of 9-12. 3-4 reaches 5 targets and 3-4 likely. |

sub-10% acceptance rate: 5 reject, 1 accept
10-20% acceptance rate: 1 reject, 1 WL, 5 accept >30% acceptance rate: 2 accept |

| It’s a silly metric. Not indicative of anything. |
