For parents whose kids applied to fewer than 10, would you mind sharing what that list looked like? You don't have to out your kid. I'm just wondering what a smaller list would be since mine is already up to 14 for next year and they aren't even done looking at ideas.[/quote]

IS non-flagships -- think CNU, JMU, VCU followed by schools like Longwood, MWU, ODU
OOS flagships -- think 'Bama, UK, USC, UTK, WVU
OOS non-flagships -- think East Carolina U, East Tennessee State U, Miami of Ohio
Privates -- think GMU, Howard, Hampton

Our DC's four are all listed above along with several others that were considered but DC ultimately chose not to apply to. UVA wasn't in the mix and neither Tech nor W&M had their program of interest as a focus.[/quote]OK.  Thank you.  Mine is looking at UVA & VT, along with Michigan, USC (Cali), UF & GA.  They have been involved in a sport forever and want to be able to continue at the club level in college, but it's only available of the larger schools.  A lot of non-flagships mean giving that up.  [/quote]A lot of tough admits there (regardless of "stats"), with the only potential "likely" being VT--and that being likely only if DC has great grades, good+ rigor, and is applying for humanities or social sciences. Fortunately, you and DC have time to broaden your vision.[/quote]

Maybe.  I know the list will have to get bigger, but I don't see a 1000-1200 SAT state school or a small, PA LAC (which I went to - I like them) going on their list.  Those just aren't the type of schools that get my kid excited.[/quote]Ah, the sweet smell of entitlement. It almost always ends painfully at some point. Maybe this time next year for your DC...[/quote]
