[quote=Anonymous]Well thought out list is key. The shotgunning for T-20’s makes things difficult for everyone and it’s become a what-came-first-the-chicken-or-egg situation. Admissions is unpredictable, which drives kids to apply to more schools, which created more chaos and unpredictability. I have to admit that as a parent (‘24) I was anxious and tried to encourage my high stats-but-nothing-extraordinary kid to apply to more schools. They drew the line at 11 (one T-10, a couple T-20ish, a few T-40ish, and 2 60ish.) it worked out well with one rejection, three waitlists, and 7 acceptances. And most importantly, choices that they were excited about. I’m glad my kid drew the line and had a school CC (private school) who had time to sit down with them and put together a workable list. CC’s at a lot of bigger schools often don’t have this kind of time, and then it falls on the parents or outside counselors. [/quote]
