[quote=Anonymous]I have a sophmore and have been thinking about this a lot. Our reality is that we can't afford to apply ED and the T10 schools are often just a lottery. I'm not going to direct his HS classes based on the low probability of being admitted to a T10. We picked colleges that were the right fit for DS. UMD would be nice but it's too big for DS so even if he was admitted, he wouldn't attend--so why bother applying. UMBC or Towson would be a better fit. Luckily for us, a WGPA of 4.7 is good enough for those schools. DS is my 4th to go to college. What I've learned is that we want our kids to have options and the more rigorous curriculum, higher GPA, and leadership roles provides the most options. But just because schools become options, doesn't mean it's the right place for them.[/quote]
