[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're thinking about this backwards. By the time you are compiling a list of schools, the grades are known. Then you identify schools that are appropriate for those grades (and everything else about the student).[/quote] Not really. You shouldn't wait until the end of junior year to compile a list, ideally one starts before that so they can visit schools in the spring.[/quote] That’s fine, but start with visiting likelies, not reaches, and help your kid find likelies they love. Schools that are likelies even with a bunch of Bs! That way your kid sees that there are going to be great options no matter what, and that takes some of the awfulness out of the process. Then the summer before senior year when you know more about GPA and test scores visit reaches and targets. Add a couple of favorites in each of those two categories to the list. [/quote]
