[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems rough across big 3. Anything you’d suggest for rising seniors? Ed to lower reaches?[/quote]

Yes---pick true Targets and True Safeties.  If acceptance rate is not minimum of 50%, it is NOT a safety for anyone (even a Big 3).  Same for targets, acceptance rates need to be minimum of 25% to be a target. 
Pick at least 3 targets and 3 safeties and show your love for those schools, make them think it's your kid's top choice. 
Do that and you will not be disappointed.

Apply to 9 T25 schools all with acceptance rates below 20% and you might not be thrilled come April[/quote]

DC '22 at a different school, different metro area (but similar to DMV) and CCO said kid would be safe using 30% cut off. Of course, DC says IDK what I am talking about that at least one school needs to be between 60-80% as does DH, who lives in college admissions circa 1980s land. Fortunately, DC got in ED1 legacy, but I still fret on what would have happened in DC had ended up on the open market with no school more than 30%. [/quote]
