[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has a list of 8 schools she’s interested in for HS. It’s really 5 for top interest, a sixth that’s a reach & two more that are maybes. I’m pushing her to stick to 5 for sanity sake. Essays and time spent with more than 5 feels like extra, not needed stress. I do understand, admissions are very competitive. Am I guiding her wrong to narrow her list to 5 vs. 6-8? FWIW, she’s an A student, involved in different activities at school and plays competitive sports (she’s good, but not recruit for sports good). She’s looking at all Archdiocese schools. Testing is TBD…doing prep with a tutor, so hoping for a decent outcome. [/quote] You do realize that the whole financial aid yes or no question totally matters. If you need financial aid, you better add more schools. If you don’t, you probably don’t even need 8[/quote]
