[quote=Anonymous]A lot depends on what your student is looking for and your budget. We knew all reaches other than UVA/W&M would be out of budget so each kid only applied to one reach - DS to UVA, DD to W&M (both not interested in the other school). Safeties/targets: DS had 3 (VT, JMU, UDel). Hard to know where the line was between safety and target This was a few years ago when JMU was more predictable. And, he was applying to a high-admit rate major at VT. DD had 5, pretty much all safeties. Only UMW in state + OOS LACs that give merit. Multiples because she wasn't 100% sure which she preferred and we wanted to compare merit offers. So DS's total was 4 and DD's was 6. Both got in everywhere except the reach.[/quote]
