[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts from another private school parent-

If your school is pushing slacs, your kid is not as strong an applicant as you think in the current admissions environment.  Private schools still have very strong feeder relationships with slacs so they are promoting these schools because that’s where they think she has the best chance of admittance.  Given this, you are likely aiming too high with the bigger universities.  Probably should be looking at schools like Tulane, BU, NE, Wisco, maybe Miami.  These schools all strongly prefer applicants who ED.

You don’t mention test scores.  Unhooked private school students often can get away with being test optional at slacs.  The T25 universities for the most part are going to want to see test scores from this demographic.

What is the extracurricular that you think sets her apart?

BU doesn't have a real campus like NUY.

ED to reach school, then ED2 to Northeastern sounds like a plan.
