[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check back in in late March.[/quote] DC applied to 4 safeties, 6 targets, and 12 reaches. Results: - Got into all safeties and all targets, including many with large merit ($$$) scholarships (great ego-boost and a way to go through the process with a smile). - Rejected from 4 reaches, WL at 3, and admitted to 5 (including ED deferral). Had DC only chosen 3-5 reaches (advice often repeated on this site), it's entirely possible would have been shut out statistically.....DC ended up MUCH better off with a LARGE list of, well-thought-out list of reaches which matched kids' academic and EC interests (e.g., REACH list = only 1 Ivy, 3 T10, rest were T25 or T10SLAC). My advice for junior parents - apply to AS MANY REACHES as your kid can realistically do. If applying to certain reaches, though, make sure you show demonstrated interest throughout the fall to schools where that matters.[/quote]
