Rigorous and Competitive Private school outside DMV (with many Ivy admits already):

This is an odd conversation.

Don’t schools have different priorities? Some might need a (top stats) kid with your kids’ major /skills/ special pointy EC interests, while others won’t?

That’s why applying widely and not falling in love with any school is recommended.

25-30 schools is the new normal if your kid is not 3.9+ uw - and more like 3.77-3.9…..i have been told these are the kids that need to apply more widely than others……[/quote]

I have a Senior (private school) with an uw 4.0/4.5, 35 ACT, all 5 APs—-and I know of nobody that applied to that many schools.  My kid probably applied to the most of any friends, classmates at 17 apps.

He originally had about 7-10, but over break added a bunch more reaches only.

Let me know how your kid found a dozen great schools that would all be an excellent match for them and all are roughly equivalent in size, cost, location, faculty, academic offerings, and student life.

Explain it without using the words “prestige” or “rank”[/quote]
