[quote=Anonymous]College admissions have become woefully unpredictable! I think DD has a good list but we'd like to add 1-2 more colleges just to be sure as she's only in at one safety near home. She's looking for another high target/low reach.

She's a senior so [u]no time to show demonstrated interest [/u]to new schools. Is there 1 more she should add? Private school CC not encouraging any add ons this late in the game but DD is a combination of worried/curious if she's missing something. She's been very busy with her sport and senior year that time has been hard to come by.

Her major: Undecided social science (not psychology), maybe history or poli sci?
GPA: 3.75 unweighted (private school), 8 APs
SAT: 1510 (superscore after 2 attempts)

Some schools she has applied to already: Georgetown, American (EA waiting on answer), Loyola Marymount (EA accepted), USC, BU, Tufts, BC, Northeastern, Wesleyan, all UCs.

She's not interested in all-women schools or small LACs. She'd prefer a bit closer to a city (Wesleyan was an exception despite being a LAC and not near a city, but her favorite aunt lives nearby). Her preference is mid-sized (5-10K students) but would consider a larger uni. We are ex-DMV but based in LA now.

My instinct is that it's too late to add anything. But she says she's up to apply to 1 more if there's a good option that doesn't track Demonstrated Interest!
