[quote=Anonymous]9:17 and 10:19 document my daughter's experience pretty well.  Naviance, however, is a pretty gross indicator, though, because it doesn't tease out gender, recruited athletes, legacies, under-represented  like they are more competitive than they probably are.

Your daughter's scores put her in the running for the more competitive LAC's/universities but probably not the most competitive. Northwestern and Wash U are pretty competitive so maybe a way to approach one of them would be for her to consider applying Early Decision. Some schools are admitting up to 50% of their incoming classes during the ED process.

Things I wish I had paid more attention to:
Common Data Set for each college/university
Early Decision
College Confidential Parents forum - many of these parents have poured over the admission process so closely that they are way more realistic than the average parent both in terms of looking at their child with a critical and discerning eye and what specific colleges appear to be looking for
