[quote=Anonymous]My kid had 2 and didn't need them. Their counselor wanted safety-heavy (suggested like 6+ safeties my kid had zero interest in). We didn't take that advice and he applied reach-target heavy and 2 safeties. He got in pretty much everywhere. WL at 2 HPYSM and in everywhere else. It was a waste of application fees and time to do more. That said he was a strong applicant perfect 4.0 uw gpa, 35 ACT, 5s all AP exams and very involved ECs --sport, community service, job, academic club. I do think counselors don't want to face a kid/parents if they don't get in anywhere so they tend to be very cautious. I feel like many have you shoot below your weight too. [/quote]
