[quote=Anonymous]So she can apply and see. Realistically she won’t get in though—no hook.

But, beyond that, she’s going to need to readjust her thinking significantly or the college app process will just bring her misery. My oldest is a junior and (though your daughter is great) has a lot more going for him. We really sat down and thought about what he wants to get out of college and even things like state/climate/sports teams/school atmosphere. For example, his school sends several kids to both Cornell and Carnegie Mellon each year and I’m confident he could get into one or both, but he won’t be applying to either because though prestigious, he’s not going to be happy on those campuses.

To this end, we’ve been curating a list now anchored by a school that should be an easy admit for him that he’s really excited about…plus some schools that he should get into, plus some reaches. All selected on what’s best for him as a person, not which school is the best.

Try to detach from the rankings, it’s going to be ok.[/quote]
