[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Super important that folks are conservative when it comes to definition of reach/safety/target for your student. Reaches are a dime a dozen. Targets can be elusive. Safeties can be hard to find. [/quote] Safeties are not difficult to find. Top 25% of scores/gpa, acceptance rate above 50% and a school your kid really wants to attend. Oh and show demonstrated interest to minimize yield protection chances. The issue seems to be that many "high stats" kids don't want to attend anywhere but T20. Trust that they will go far even at a T50 school or T100 school.[/quote] You say in the first paragraph that safeties are not difficult to find but then you also say that a safety is somewhere they want to attend. As you acknowledge in the second paragraph, that is the issue for many high stats kids and why they have trouble finding safeties. [/quote] Agree[/quote]
