[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids problem was they didn't have safeties that they really wanted to go to. [/quote] Well that was your job as a parent to make sure you kid DID have true safeties (defined as ones you can afford and actually want to attend, acceptance rate over 50% and your kid's scores at/above 75%). Otherwise, you must prepare them for possible disappointment that they don't have a college to attend that they actually want to attend. [b]Applying to all T20 schools doesn't improve your chances[/b]; changes are still slim to none no matter what your scores/grades/etc. [/quote] Why doesn't it? They are different colleges, each one is looking for their own preferable types of students. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Admissions are sometimes quite random.[/quote]
