[quote=Anonymous]Be realistic when creating a college list. Acceptance rates play a much bigger part than you might think. Just bc a student seems to fit a school's profile, if a ton of people apply, many qualified students will be deferred/waitlisted/denied. Don't be caught off guard by this. Check acceptance rates in each school's CDS (common data set). Don't believe google searches of acceptance rates. Reaches are reaches for absolutely everyone. Determine targets and safeties not just by your child's stats, but by acceptance rates. Don't assume a school is a target bc your child's stats seem to exceed their range. Help your child see that that there are so many options for them, not just their "dream school". Many gems await! Many kind folks on this board. Best to you and yours![/quote]
