[quote=Anonymous]Sure, mine was accepted at a school that is currently a reach for everyone. My telling you which one will hardly help as the chances are so low for everyone and that is not going to change this cycle. Agree with PPs who are basically advising that you create a balanced list of reaches, targets and true safeties. The well crafted list based on the best data (CDS, actual school admissions website) is your daughter's best chance for success. That plus stellar grades, test scores, LORs, EC's etc - will give you the opportunity to purchase the lottery ticket if a reach is what she wants the most - but to win that lottery is low odds. This is not to make her feel worse - it is good information to help her make informed choices. Visit and show a lot of interest towards the targets and safeties, as they are not, well "safe". One step at a time, gather the info, do some visits, and I bet she will start to feel better and more empowered as time goes on. Good luck![/quote]
