Yes, I said it was more of a safety than a reach, which would make it a target. Sorry if that wasn't clear.[/quote]

Did you find  the entire college admissions process overwhelming? A lot of uncertainty in these posts. A college counselor probably would have helped. [/quote]

We mainly relied on DD's own research and school counselor.[/quote]

You cannot complain if you put little effort into it.  She got into great schools.  You are the problem.[/quote]

You guys are piranhas. It is totally understandable for OP and her DD to be disappointed based on her stats and efforts. If we are at at the place now where you are saying what mom did is 'little effort' because they didn't spend on a college counselor, then this process is totally screwed and you are a contributor.

I am not saying anyone is entitled to a spot, but I am saying that this dd is entitled to be disappointed.

There are tons and tons of kids with these stat's and that's the problem.  She got into great schools but she didn't stand out for the other ones.  Her EC's are volunteering only.  200 hospital hours is good but many kids have 200 volunteer hours on top of other EC's.[/quote]
