[quote=Anonymous]As we applied to colleges last fall, the hardest thing to decide was how selective were reach and match schools for our below average DCUM student. Contrary to DCUM's beliefs DC got into 9 of the 10 schools they applied to 8 of the 9 with about 50% merit aid. There are more than 3000 four year colleges in the USA. The reason we keep pushing them is because no one really knows which schools are the right level. Even once a student is admitted, what they did in middle school doesn't have much to do with how hard they will work in college. For more than 90% of the population, getting a four year degree at a #2500 ranked school is simply about going to class and doing the work just like they were an apprentice plumber. [/quote]
