[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child should have applied to at least one safety school that they love. You need to fire whoever has been advising you/her.[/quote]

How do you know that the student has not applied to other schools ? This was just the EA round. [/quote]

OP said this:

“My kid is non-Catholic business major.
ND and GU were two top choices.

The next options were Vanderbilt, WashU, Emory, USC, CMU, NYU”[/quote]

Applied to a few regualr EA schools like Northeastern, UVA, USC, etc. 
ND and GU were just top choices.
If it didn't work out, planned to ED2 to schools like Emory, CMU, Vanderbilt, BC[/quote]

Sorry, but Northeastern, UVA, USC (California), Vanderbilt, Emory, CMU, and even BC are fairly equal to ND and Georgetown. These schools are all high reach or low reach for everyone. BC's acceptance rate for the class of 2027 was 15%. That means 85% of applicants were denied. CMU was 11%,  Georgetown 13%, NYU 8%, NE 5.6% (that's insane), ND 11%, USC 10%, Vandy 6%, WashU 12%, UVA 13% OOS, and Emory 10%.

Applying to these schools is fine, but your child will need safety and target schools that they will be happy attending. Things have changed in the last few years and all these schools are hard to get into.[/quote]
You should not be comparing acceptance rates like this. ND and Georgetown have those acceptance rates without ED (which severely lowers acceptance rates). [/quote]
