[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a good list IF she likes Elon and Loyola (esp Loyola).

It looks like one safety, one high safety/low match, I don’t know how to categorize FSU, and then high match/low reaches/reaches.

It would be great to have more solid matches/have the overall list more bottom- and middle-heavy.[/quote]

I was under the impression that Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, Loyola, and Elon were her match schools -OP[/quote]

A match means she hits the 50th percentile (not below!) of the incoming students’ stats. I’d check F & M’s common data set to confirm.[/quote]

NP here.  I would put F&M and Lehigh as similar profiles.  While this wouldn’t help with the target/match, has she looked at University of Richmond - it seemed like it would be a similar type as some of the colleges on the list.

In general the list looks okay but I would feel nervous without more of a financial safety and would add a likely admit state school on the list.  Also, what is the RD vs ED acceptance rates?  Someplace like F&M may look like a match on the surface, but if you find out they take half their class in ED and the acceptance rate is 25% for RD, it may be more of a low reach if applying RD.  I would also look to see how many offer EA option, it’s nice to have the likely/target with EA for many reasons.[/quote]
