Already accepted to all with tons of merit [/quote]

That’s great to hear! Those are all solid schools.[/quote]

Right and sadly PP’s kid won’t go to any of them, but there were classmates of the kid who were rejected from each of these schools because PP’s kid was one of the 18-20 kids that school accepted. And now some senior is sad because they didn’t get into their reach school due to PPs kid collecting acceptances like trophies that will go on a shelf.

Sorry but if people stopped doing this and actually exercised some discernment in applying to only 2-3 safeties, it would really help other kids in this process. [/quote]

For High stats kids, sometimes they are rejected from Targets and Safeties because "the school is yield controlling".  So as long as that is happening, those kids will continue to apply to 4-5+ safeties.  Despite the fact those safeties are your kid's target or reach.  In reality, the school has already factored not attending into the picture.  they know their normal yield and which candidates are using them as a safety.  However, they are hoping to snag some top candidates at a W&M for the instate rates vs 90K+.
