[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale, rice,jhu, vandy Cornell and Michigan as safeties[/quote] This is just so far off for 1490 and 5 APs. Sorry to say. Our child was just in this position with a similar SAT and more than twice as many APs. That's a really nice academic record, the the reality is that the 25-50 ranking range is the place to look for matches and safeties, and maybe add a few reaches in the top 25.[/quote] I agree that those schools are a reach, but I don't agree with you PP that more APs automatically means better. I think schools are starting to back off from that. Yes, take challenging courses, including some APs, but also use your time to do extracurriculars or work a job. The kids self-studying to try to do 14 APs just make themselves look more uni-dimensional.[/quote]
