[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a top kid -- I mean like top 10% or higher SATs and GPA but no "hook" like being an underrepresented minority, playing a sport or having a unique talent or strength, then I'd say be careful with applying to Ivies. When competing for college acceptance at the highest levels, almost no one can consider themselves "likely" for admission. If you are going the Ivy (or Ivy equivalent) route, I'd advise applying to a few more schools than typical, and including a true safety like [b]UMD, Michigan, Tulane, Penn State[/b]. [/quote] These are safeties? (Or do you mean for that top 10% student who has a chance at the Ivies?)[/quote] These are safeties just for top students. I'll note that PSU seems to love students from around here and Michigan is starting to feel the love as well. I've heard that Tulane has been know to reject top students if they feel they're using Tulane as a safety. [/quote]
