What is her SAT and UW GPA?

Northwestern RD is not a target.
Tufts RD probably is not a target either.

Northwestern ED is a target. RD is more difficult.

CMU should be a high target for your DC. But why go to CMU for chemistry?

These are more reaches 🙄

Acceptance came out before the break.

Consider Rochester as well, but they don't have EA.

For high target low reach:
Emory
Carleton

Emory is not a target, and Carleton is no Emory.

I was also going to suggest W&M.

Interesting. Is Pomona a research university strong in chemistry? Is it a target for this applicant or a reach? Do you need to ED to get in if unhooked?

Pomona is a SLAC like Swat but if anything an even tougher admit. Obviously not a target. Maybe the poster was joking.

low reach for OP's stats?
I don't mean Emory is not a great school. Just providing suggestion to OP.

NO WAY are Emory or Washington U or Vanderbilt targets in RD.

I had a kid with OP's kid's stats last year from a feeder private (25% to ivies) and this kid was waitlisted RD at WashU and Emory and outright rejected from Northwestern RD but got into 2 Ivies RD.

These other top25 schools are not targets unless they're applied to ED and even then I'd hesitate to call them such. RD they are definitely not a target for anyone.

Holy Cross - 26 chem majors a lot for small school. Good math dept.

Vandy RD 3% acceptance rate. Lower than ivies.

EMory 11%. OP has a good chance getting in. Again, this is a great school, we are not disparaging the school here. Just the numbers. Vandy is no necessarily a better school.

Would you be willing to put your ego down for a second?

Who kids who are credible Ivy applicants, there are no targets. There are just "reaches for all" and then straight to likelies. You might think that a WashU or an Emory would slot it, but they don't--they're reaches for all (where "all" means all).
