[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you have to look to conspiracies here. Your kid's grades have improved through her high school career so that implies that the earlier years, grades were not as strong. +/-2200s are not +/-2300s. Your child has a very strong academic resume but it doesn't seem, as you describe it at, as Princeton, Stanford, Williams calibre. The schools want families like yours to be successful. My strategy would be to include two of your reaches, but realize your counselor honestly believes that you don't have much of a shot at those schools. She isn't conspiring against you, she just knows there are stronger candidates. At a top 3 school like Sidwell, STA and NCS, there are many more kids than you realize with more consistent grades and stronger boards. [/quote]
