[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that it is harder to get into college than when we all applied. But what about for the very high stats kids?

Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.[/quote]

It is going to be hard in cases where child is competitive for HYPSM but no T30 college is a sure shot.

We went through this and ended up at one of HYPSM and also had multiple T20 admits - one with a huge merit aid. But it could have easily been 0 T20 admits.

The only advice is to love your safety school. My most significant effort is to make sure child is happy with 1-2 safety schools that meet the criteria in every respect. Finding these schools is the tough part. But put your focus on it.
