[quote=Anonymous]How's your budget, OP? I would focus on fit over prestige, but I would think a highly-rejective school could be an option if you can commit to the NPC cost and your student applies ED. Again, though, fit over prestige. To answer your question, my daughter got in to Carleton and W&M (OOS) with similar stats/ECs, but was WL'd from T20s and rejected from Ivies during RD. Enrolled at W&M and it's been excellent. Also, I wouldn't overindex on the "we hired the counselor too late" sentiment. Many people don't hire counselors at all, and it's 100% in the counselor's interest to be like "well I could have maybe helped you if only you'd come to me earlier; as it is, (sigh) we'll see what we can do". Under that premise, any success your kid sees is the counselor's doing, and any lack of success is your fault. Don't buy it. There will be lots of great options for your kid, even if you don't work with that (or any) counselor.[/quote]
