[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been pleased with the process so far. Although I made sure my child applied to a range of schools and I limited the number of reaches. We honed in on strong targets and likely reaches. So far they’ve been admitted to one reach. Apply wisely. Keep finances in mind. I see so many students applying to schools they have no chances at. I feel for them. [/quote] Pleased with the process bc your kid got in one reach. OP isn’t there. Your story might be different if your didn’t have that one reach. I think people may think by spreading out and applying to a bunch of reaches, statistically, their kids are more likely to get in to at least one. That isn’t how the math works. Each school is independent. Applying to any school, no matter how many, with less than 10 percent acceptance means 90 percent chance at every school, the child doesn’t get it. [/quote]
