[quote=Anonymous]Her expectations are way off, sorry. Our child was in that high achiever group by any definition, and we were advised very clearly and correctly that Michigan and USC are not safeties for this group. In some cases, they aren't even matches. I don't know anything about smaller schools like Emory because my kid wanted a bigger school. Safeties (and strong schools by any measure), which by definition your child is almost certain to get in to, are more along the lines of Wisconsin, UIUC, and UT Austin. In our kid's peer group, all had the qualifications on paper to get into places like Michigan, Cal, and UCLA, but only about half did. Same as for all of the other schools in the top 25.[/quote]
