Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.

On DCUM, those are not "super high" stats. Barely adequate really. Maybe look into Alabama or Ole Miss. And no one cars about "Max Rigor", whoever that is. Sounds like a porn star.

Followed their passions even though they didn't go toward activities that have competitions and thus the lack of national level awards. But on the whole I'd say top 2 percent at a rigorous public school, max AP classes, all 5's and 1 4 on 9 AP'a through junior year.

But it is so unclear on how this will all shake out.

Similar student from the class of '25, and this "who knows? problem" led them to apply to many extra colleges. Ended up in a great place that they're really happy with, but it was a long slog, and went all the way to Spring Break for a decision. If there's that one kid in your school who is a shoo-in at the top colleges, your odds competing against them are reduced. But in a large public, you can't know where others are applying. So legitimately, roll the dice and do more applications if it is worth it to your kid.
