[quote=Anonymous]My kid is applying in waves:

ED1 & if needed ED2.  He has 4 high match on the bubble schools and will choose 2. We still have some visits to do.  I’ve seen Naviance for reach schools like Ivy’s. It’s not going to happen.

Pitt rolling decision, to get a yes in September.

EA his favorite safety, plus a match that does EA.   The EA safety responded by 12/20.  If he gets in, that plus Pitt cover safety schools.

Hopefully it’s over then in EA, if not, up to 5 RD applications, up to 2 reaches, the rest matches.

If you aren’t doing ED, tell your kid he must choose 10-12 schools. Then separate them reach, match, safety.  About 2 reach, 4 match, 4 safety.  If the list isn’t balanced, add in the areas needed and drop one school for each added.

I’m puzzled though. Has your kid done any research, sat through virtual programming, etc?  He should have more of a sense than “top ranked by us news”, ie big state vs SLAC, Greek or not, sports-centric vs artsy, urban vs rual, how far from home, $$$ constraints. [/quote]
