[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a junior who sounds like many of the kids that people are posting here. Highest rigor, dozen+ APs, 4.0UW, 1560 SAT, captain of sports team, solid ECs but not state/national level of anything. I'm biased, but also a great kid and will likely do well wherever she ends up.

Her college counselor is clear-eyed, saying she's a reasonable candidate for any school she wants to look at but she [b]could get in somewhere highly competitive or be completely shut out[/b]. When we look at the colleges that match what she is looking for, we are still over 15 colleges! That seems crazy to me, but with single digit to very low double digit acceptance rates, we are not sure what to do.  I'd love to hear advice from parents with recent grads or with seniors this year.[/quote]

For high stats kids, highly recommend Case Western EA as safety.  This school is a true savior.  They will send out the acceptance before Christmas!

For top kids, your application to Case Western should let the high stats speak for itself.  One thing you want to do is [b]not to[/b] highlight any big spike.  Once they see the spike (award etc), they will give you deferral because they see this as ivy potential.

DI is super important, otherwise it's a deferral.  In person visit.

Once your DC has the EA acceptance to Case, RD can be all reaches/high reaches if DC would be happy at Case.[/quote]
