[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Just attended a talk yesterday where a college counselor said that NO ONE was safe anymore when applying at any institution with a 20% or lower admit rate. [/quote] This is old news. If a school accepts 2 in 10 applicants (and most Top 20 schools select less than 1), no kid is a guarantee. But my hunch is that a special kid will get into some top school. I would advise the kid to take his shot ED, and then have a big backup plan. I have not heard of a valedictorian being shut out completely, for example. She may not get into an Ivy but she will get in somewhere.[/quote]
