[quote=Anonymous]I’m of a different mindset from of a lot of posters. Focus your search on likelies that seem most appealing to your child since that is where your child is most likely to end up. An Ivy or similar is such a long shot that it’s most likely a waste of time and resources. The only exception is if your child is planning to ED since they should see it before commiting. Otherwise visit the reach once you know your child is in (unless it’s a short drive). But set realistic expectations for admission chances reminding your child that there are more qualified kids than spots so it’s a lottery at the end of the day. It’s always sad when kids fall in love with a school that isn’t a likely and no Ivy is a likely for anyone. I saw it happen with my awesome nephew who was perfect by all the metrics. [/quote]
