[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice to those applying the next cycle? Choose some non-traditional safeties like smaller, more unknown LACS to include in your list. Think CTCLs and others that don’t have 50K apps per year. Also, JMU may go the way of Virginia Tech next year and be unpredictable. Don’t use that as your only safety. -signed parents of class of 2021 and 2020[/quote] +1000. Also apply early to 1-2 rolling admission schools to relieve the stress: https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/top-rolling-admissions-colleges/ Pitt and Penn State are popular choices in the area. You should also consider playing the geographic diversity game in your favor by applying further away (but not too far away - we knew an FCPS kid who applied to U Hawaii with this in mind (and surfing) and got rejected!). If money is an issue, then your DC will need to get comfortable with GMU, VCU, CNU, ODU, Towson, UMBC, (depending on your state). [/quote]
