[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Stanford has an acceptance rate of 5% and Princeton 7%. So they are highly unlikely for everyone. I doubt the counselor has told any students to aim confidently for those. He can apply to reach schools and some more likely schools, and if he surprises her and gets in then that's great. The college counselor is not going to determine where he gets in.[/quote] [quote]Agree. The counselor is giving you good advice. It is expensive to apply to those schools. An upwardly rising GPA won't work in those schools. You need to already be there unless you fall into [b]Affirmative action.[/b][/quote] Do you mean affirmative action for lacrosse, crew, water polo and squash players or legacy admits? [/quote]
