I guess not "Big 3," but Potomac parent here with rising senior. Though kid has met with college counselor, parents have not and probably won't, considering requested emails to set up said meeting have been completely ignored. Clicked through to kid's Naviance and was horrified at the schools the counselor put in. Honestly, just can't face this process. Didn't really for older kids until late summer and all worked out fine. Not everybody is as intense and insane as DCUM would lead you to believe. In any event, OP, [b]you now full well that your kid is a top applicant[/b]. Why do you need to come here with this question?[/quote]

OP again. Thanks for this response. Actually, I am pretty sure (100 percent certain) that DC is NOT a top applicant (in the sense of the top 5 or even 10 kids in the class) who can be nearly certain that they will end up at a T10 school.  The students who have strong records but are below this tier face more uncertainty than they have in the past. Even counselors seem limited in their ability to help forecast outcomes (perhaps bc they mostly only know what has gone on in their own schools). [/quote]

Even though you were told to ignore advice from public school parents, here is mine since you asked. My DC is a rising senior in MCPS, with very rigorous course load, 1550 SAT and 3.9 uw gpa. DC is working with a private college counselor, and these are the schools on their list right now: Emory, UVA (reaches), W&M, Wake Forest (targets), possibly UNC (reach/target), UMD (safety). DC needs to add a couple of targets and safeties. [/quote]
