[quote=Anonymous]We managed expectations way ahead of time. We also had the benefit of watching other families at her small private go through the process. Every year there are one or two families that enter the application season with the attitude that their kid’s grades and scores match the grades and scores for xyz very selective institutions so those are their target schools. Those kids typically had tough admissions seasons. If a school has a single digit percentage of acceptances, it is not a target. Our daughter loved an in state school that is tough to get into. She decided to apply ED to her first choice and she applied EA to two other instate schools and she applied to a rolling admission safety. If she wasn’t accepted to her ED, she had one reach and one out of state target to apply to. [/quote]
