[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every school that is a "match" for her stats is a reach school for everyone. So go ahead and apply to a bunch of the dreams and cross your fingers. Then the real question is which of the schools for which her stats are above the 75th percentile, is good for what she wants to study, does not yield protect, and meets all her other nice to haves. [/quote] This. She should be looking at schools ranked, say, 35+ in the USNWR. Her safeties will be here. As a PP said, there's no such thing as a match for kids like your DD-- the "match" schools just aren't sure things for anyone. Incidentally, among those schools ranked 40+ will be many that will offer her large merit scholarships. [/quote]
