[quote=Anonymous]OP, your DD was poorly served by her counselor. This year of all years she shouldn't have wasted her ED chances on reaches. I'm sorry that happened. Also, many top schools are admitting fewer kids this year because they had so many gap year kids. If your DD is truly unhappy with her choices then she can take a gap year and reapply next year - this time applying ED to one of the schools she considers a match (which I gather are pretty highly ranked schools looking at the ones she had as safeties). I will tell you, though, that I've had a kid at a school that would've been on your reach list and one at W&M, and there's not a whole lot of difference between the quality of education that they received, nor their graduate outcomes. Just something to think about.[/quote]
