[quote=Anonymous]So far DD has applied to 4EA schools and 1 RD. She really wants to be done but won’t hear back from her top choice (UMD) until RDs are due. I vacillate between feeling confident about her strategy and anxious she’s not casting the net wide enough. She has very specific criteria and feels okay about taking a gap year if none work out. Accepted rates are predicted by CollegeVine based on her profile and validated by Naviance. They are not the overall acceptance rates and I know they aren’t reliable but they’re the best data we’ve got. Submitted: 1 private far reach (21%), 2 public targets (56% and 78%), and 2 public safeties (98 and 99%) Not yet submitted: 2 private hard targets (28% and 36%), 1 private target (85%) Would you push your kid to do the last three or roll the dice on 5 applications and call it quits? Her MCPS guidance counselor advised at least 8.[/quote]
