[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it - but to elaborate DD is in a social group where basically every student is expecting to get into a top 10-15 school. DD has solid credentials but is extremely worried she won't be able to get into a top 15. She is ok settling with a lesser school but doesn't wasnt to go to a school lower than rank 25. Michigan, Emory, USC seem to be her top safeties at the moment, [b]does anyone have any other suggestions[/b]?[/quote]

Yes, my suggestion is that you and your daughter quickly reset your priorities about college and higher education, and that you get her out of that toxic social group. Otherwise, she'll be "extremely worried" and miserable her whole life.[/quote]

They are expecting to get into a top 10-15 school you say. But will they? A lot of these kids will be hit by the thud of reality, particularly in a year when admissions departments will be struggling themselves to adapt to the new situation with covid when the usual SAT, extra-curriculars, teacher rec inputs have also been affected.[/quote]
