[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child’s private school college counselor should be helping guide him through the process [/quote]

Maybe. Maybe not. Many, probably most, high school college counselors care about hitting a goal of 100% college acceptance for each member of the graduating class. This is achieved best by directing students to apply to safety & match schools.[/quote]

In the current college admissions climate, this is about all they can do. My guess is that OP and her kid are familiar with reach schools. College counselor can help round out this list so this kid will have a couple of safeties that they are excited about attending.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, this exactly. We have a couple of safeties and a couple of reaches, but are looking for EAs. Most "good" schools now offer EDs, no EAs.
Does EA really provide better chances than a true RD?

School's counselor seems at times overconfident, and yet also almost overcautious. Could be us too, we are not familiar with the process and consequently insecure AF.

Anything below 20% acceptance rate = reach
Target = any school where DC will have SAT at 50-75% percentile

I have been playing with collegevine.com chancing app and the results are not really giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
