[quote=Anonymous]My Dad’s approach: Beat Berkeley (or insert name of best in-state public your DC is likely to get into). Basically, treat the public option as a default and as a benchmark for determining the value of other options. Under this scenario, DC applies to as many in-state publics as s/he is interested in and privates either have to price-match the best public option or be demonstrably better in some relevant way to justify the additional expenditure. Our approach with DC: Treat colleges applications as a multi-round process. First part of the process = choose the early app school(s) and find a couple safeties you love. If you’re happy with an early offer, immediately take every option that is less appealing off the table. Have additional apps ready to go (inc. scores/transcripts/recs sent) if you aren’t satisfied with early outcomes — decide whether there’s an ED2 option you’d be willing to commit to. [/quote]
