[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is just a regular smart boy (private school) with a 35 ACT and high gpa/rigor. I never even thought he might have a chance at a top 20 because he is a classic 1990s-style well rounded kid. Athlete, involved in school clubs, part-time job. Nothing national level. Are these type of kids actually applying to top 20s? He would like a school like Dartmouth, Vandy, Duke or Brown, but I told him he would never get in. Should he throw in a few super reach apps? [/quote] Yes, he should definitely throw in some high reaches. I reccomend you come up with a RD1, with lots of EAs, and an RD2 strategy in case RD1 doesn’t work out. My private school 3.73 (no weighting at his school) 36 ACT, DS got into a T10 for CS. [/quote] What are RD1 and RD2? [/quote] Sorry, I meant to say ED1 and ED2. [/quote]
