[quote=Anonymous]My high stats DS and I did a spring break trip that allowed us to see a bunch of high reaches in a short period of time. It helped him figure out which ones he was most interested in and which ones he didn't like enough to apply to. And that information could also help identify less selective schools that might be similar in location/size/offerings that are potential targets or safeties. I do think it's good for kids to go into the process knowing that the most selective schools are basically a lottery, even for the highest achievers. If you think a kid might get fixated on schools really outside their reach, I might focus on starting by identifying (and possibly touring) safety schools that might be a good fit. [/quote]
