[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the helpful input (OP here)! I tried to get everyone's responses, below:

She did have Boston University (and yes, it is on the exchange list) but for some reason I forgot it here! I think reach? Are 4 reaches too many?

Unfortunately Cooper Union and Rose Hulman (which IS on the exchange list) she has ruled out as too small. And no to Annapolis, she isn’t interested in a service academy.

We won’t qualify for any FA – I thought Wisconsin, Boulder, and Northwestern were very stingy with merit?  She doesn’t want to live in TX otherwise I think Rice would be great for the list.

RIT IS on the list (not WPI) so maybe add that?

Ideally I’d like to get some OFF the list. 14 seems like a lot to apply to and now you all have come up with more great suggestions!

How many safeties should she have with that list? Are there too many? If we add U New Mexico should we take another off?

Someone asked how she came up with the list- great question! I gave her the list of tuition exchange schools and she picked some from there and then added others based on (my guess) conversations with friends and a little research on her own.

Her extracurriculars are OK- a lot of clubs + honor societies + varsity sports but nothing wowza. She’s had the same job since she was 14 (with promotions) along with lifeguard summer job since 15 (with promotion last year). Basically your average teenager :)

I think she will likely pick ME, not nuclear. Someone one told her she can make a lot of money with nuclear and I think that stuck with her lol. [/quote]
