[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think The Game is a perfect example of the dangers of independent counselors.

Girl liked Brown (10/10), Pomona (10), Tufts (9), Smith (8 with legacy), Amherst (8)

About he Smith he says something like, "a whole bunch of people right now are saying, what the heck is Smith College.No offense, but it's not a well known name college."

He basically advises tufts. maybe Pomona ED1 and tufts ed2. But the signal is strong - lean into Tufts.

But applicant ranks brown and Pomona first. and he acts like Smith is a school nobody has heard of.

As a parent, if I had Smith in my back pocket as a safety and you were happy with that. I'd say go for favorite for sure.

But he maybe doesnt think Smith is a good enough school to have on his website so he pushes tufts [/quote]

I listened to it too.

That kid gets into Smith in RD; no need to burn the early card since not top choice.

The problem with Pomona ED is the how many FGLI/pell grant they take. It’s a risk. Equally tough is being female at brown without a hook in ED.

At our private, the only ED admits to Brown are hooked. Everyone else deferred and rejected. Maybe she goes for Pomona ED, assumes deferral and shoots for the moon in RD? I mean that might work now with the crazy WLs?

I would have frankly advised looking at a few other schools. Seems like a big gap btw Brown and Pomona?
