[quote=Anonymous]Make sure the list of colleges to apply to includes safeties that your child would be genuinely happy at. Think about the attributes of the reach/match schools they like, then look for schools with similar qualities but less selective. Ideally, they have an early action application option, in which case, apply early. They are great practice for later applications (with less stress), and your kid will hear back December/January, ideally getting confidence that he or she is into a college they could happily attend. (My senior is still waiting to hear back from a few last schools this week, so it has been very, very helpful to have two great safeties in the bag.)[/quote]
