[quote=Anonymous]DC had 36 ACT, great EC & leadership, great grades, etc. Applied to a wide range: got into all of the top five public. Waitlisted at a few ivies; then refused the waitlist option. Wanted big school, football, Greek life, numerous highly ranked majors, strong network of alumni. Would sacrifice one or two of those nonacademic qualities for a good offer but wound up finding the perfect fit. But I strongly advise also applying early to a school that you know you can get into bc it really takes the pressure off to know that you have an acceptance already by October. Getting into top schools becomes essentially a lottery and I’ve seen amazing students only aim for the top ivies and get in nowhere. Be sure to find a true safety you could honestly be happy about.
