[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your definition of good news being accepted to a reach?

My kid was accepted to all of the schools she applied to, except her reaches. That is absolutely what statistics would have predicted. She had 7 schools to choose from: almost too many. They were all schools she had selected, after careful research and multiple visits.

Why is that not good news?[/quote]

+1 My DD is still waiting on a response from a reach school. I think she's unlikely to get in, which is to be expected. But her good news is that she has acceptances to 5 safety and match schools and absolutely loves one of them. She also got their top merit award so it fits our budget. She's happily preparing for an audition for an additional non-major music scholarship and looking forward to attending an admitted students event in February. If she gets into the reach she'll have to figure out which she likes better but may still end up at the safety.

She did her research and all the schools are a good fit for her desired major and she showed interest for all of them, including interviewing where possible.[/quote]
