[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The gap between the sky’s the limit posters and actual admissions is huge.[/b]  I really do think these posters are huge. And yes, my kid is at a rigorous DMV private.  I’ve actually had two kids go through the cycle in the past four years (the kid this cycle in at a SCEA school).

A kid may get a little wiggle room with an impressive ec but gpa and where they place in high school class as a result is THE most important determinant for admission.[/quote]I think people are responding to the sense that the sky really might be the limit for this kid [i]within her field[/i]. She just may not have the opportunity to pick up a degree from a highly-rejective college along the way.

I would follow the advice to apply to three true safeties. If it’s a frustrating admissions season, being able to exercise some choice at the end will feel good.

I would also try to find a private counselor who has expertise working with uneven kids like this one. [/quote]

I don't think the people recommending MiT, Stanford, Chicago, Hopkins, etc. . . were thinking of her future career.[/quote]
