[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP and PP. it is a nerve wracking process so go in with your eyes open. Don’t be the parent who thinks their own kid is amazing and pushes their child to apply to top ivys. Be encouraging but realistic. I saw several disappointed kids whose parents encouraged them to apply early to Harvard or Stanford. Kids had top grades and scores but didn’t stand out in any other way. [/quote] +1 And Naviance isn't really helpful with this. My DS has very high SATs and strong GPA but not one of the best in the class and hasn't done much with extracurriculars. Still, the college search tool in Naviance says Ivies are a "match" for him, which is ridiculous. But, some parents will believe that. [/quote]
