[quote=Anonymous]DH and I attended T5/T10 schools. And our kids are better qualified than we were when we applied but we have accepted that stellar grades but not valedictorian, strong test scores (but not NMSF), summer research/jobs/college program/volunteering, winning regional competitions, playing a HS sport (but not D1 or D3 worthy), being a legacy, and applying ED will still not be enough. It is a shift in thinking but we will be happy if our kids are accepted to any college that has a strong alumni base and prepares them well for the workforce. Attendance at a prestigious school is great plus but it’s just not realistic anymore.[/quote]
