[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is easier to apply to fewer schools if you aren’t buying for a spot in one of the top 50. But, a lot of kids have been fed the line that these schools are within reach if they fulfill certain criteria. So, it’s hard for them to give up the idea of going to those schools when they’ve spent the past 4 years working towards that goal. [/quote] Think that’s exactly right. When you have great grades/scores/unique ECs, you’ve been led to believe you will end up somewhere better than Wisco.[/quote] If you have dreams of UVA and prepped and made class decisions with that in mind, it's hard to accept another state school with SATs that are 200-400 points lower on average. It doesn't mean that you can't get a good education, but it can be a challenge to feel good about it. I think that's why so many high stat kids are applying to so many schools.[/quote] Well said.[/quote]
