[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think he would get into Colgate and bucknell. He should have some true safeties.[/quote]

He has some state schools but not great options tbh [/quote]

So find some true safeties and low targets, find ones he will like and want to attend and get your applications in.

Every year there are people who stress because they are not getting acceptances, but their entire list is largely Reaches and high reaches.  When acceptance rates are single digits or even less than 20%, it's a damn reach for everyone.

Find true safeties and true targets and you will have somewhere to attend you like.

And yes, there are safeties and targets for everyone, even high stats students.  Your kid can/will be happy somewhere, and it would be better if you pick those now, not whatever "is left" come may....I can assure you they likely wont be as happy with that [/quote]

Think there are safeties tho. MSU; Pitt; Indiana; Miami.

University of Miami? Definitely not a safety with those stats.[/quote]
