[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You go where you are accepted. You don’t realize how many smart kids are out there. [/quote] Sort of this. The closer DC gets to submitting applications the more we're pulling data into the equation and it's daunting. High stats don't guarantee admission anywhere and kids absolutely fall through the cracks because of overconfidence in the stats and ignoring the lottery nature of admissions. The best advice I've found is to find safeties (plural - schools with say 50%+ acceptance rates) where your kid could be happy, while understanding that sometimes those schools decline students because they assume they'll go elsewhere. Those schools will be found outside of T30. [/quote]
