[quote=Anonymous]Look at Naviance. For your kids SAT/GPA it is possibly a 20% probability at the lower Ivies. That is still a 1 in 5 chance. Plan your strategy accordingly. Other than Ivies, add top public universities and top LACS to the list. Have your kid start researching these colleges and understand fit. For example my kid with similar performance was against Colombia (too competitive vs collaborative) and Cornell (pressure cooker), liked Dartmouth, did not apply to HYPS. Liked two of the WASP LACs, and a bunch of publics. Decided to ED to a WASP and EA to others. Got the ED. Very happy there. As you start researching the universities you realize how many great universities there are, and how successful people come from everywhere not just Ivies. Your kid will be fine. [/quote]
