[quote=Anonymous]For that major, VT is an excellent choice. Why does it matter what the acceptance rate is? Sounds like she has a good set of options. I've always interpreted the advice to apply to X number of reaches to mean don't apply to MORE than that many of reaches, i.e. most of your applications (if not all) should be matches and safeties. But most often people seem to interpret it as you HAVE TO apply to at least that many reaches. Why? So you can go to a school where you are pretty much guaranteed not to be one of the top students, thus not competitive for the best opportunities, and won't get any merit aid? I guess if there are things you love about the school and the money part of the equation doesn't matter, go for it. But if you are really happy with options that are matches/safeties why go looking for stress?[/quote]
