[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high stat kid from 23 applied to Pitt and UMN. As soon as those acceptances came in OCTOBER it was only top 50 thereafter. If you can find a rolling admissions school you like, APPLY![/quote]

This 1000% Work hard to have 2-3 safeties/likelies that your kid likes, and if they provide results earlier even better.

What's really a shame is when top students dont do this and then seem shocked they haven't gotten in anywhere and are scrambling.  Why not spend a bit of time finding a safety that your kid loves?  Don't say they don't exist---they do, you just have to get your head out of the sand and stop assuming your kid "deserves a T25 acceptance". My kid's safety for engineering was in the 60s, got great merit and they actually considered it in their final 3 up until the end.  Why? because it was that good of a school.  They ultimately had better choices, but they seriously revisited it in April just to make sure.  That is what you want---when your kid considers a school ranked much lower in the final decision, even if you got acceptances at higher schools.  Then you have done your job right
