[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't need a reach.

Right now my DDs list (a little bit higher stats than OP) is all safeties and matches. We're visiting W&M soon and she may add that as a reach but she isn't interested in any others. And that's all for the best since any other reach will be too expensive (you don't get good merit aid from a reach).

No reach on my kid's list either.  He's well in range for his first choice (W&M - we're VA residents), so that's a target, even though we know it's not a guarantee.  While he might have a decent shot getting into an even higher ranked school OOS, there's no way he'd get merit to make it affordable for us so what's the point?   [/quote]

This, if the kid knows where they want to go, there's no reason to add reaches just for giggles. My DS wanted UVA first choice, W&M second and knew we couldn't afford Georgetown, Middlebury or Ivies. He was well in range to both of those schools, and was pretty confident he'd get into either. He applied ED to UVA and was done.   Absolutely loving UVA and its affordable.

My DD applied to one reach test optional just to see... and did not get in. Well at least we only wasted one app fee.[/quote]
