[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, post your kid's stats (w&uw GPA, public/private/parochial, SAT/ACT, intended major). Let us know what type of school they want (location, size, public/private), and we will make a list for you free of charge. Honestly just search through threads on in the discussion forum. You will get a good idea of where kids are getting in.[/quote]

Not OP, but this would be very helpful for us! We are totally lost when it comes to targets and safeties.
Looking for academic rigor above all and if possible good music program. Slight preference to East Coast and preferably private/mid-size to smaller but not picky about location, size.
4.0 uw, private, 1580/36, major still not narrowed down (considering biochemistry, physics, or CS)[/quote]

One way of looking at is by selectivity. For a high stats student, anything less than 25% acceptance rate is a reach. Targets would be more like 25-50% acceptance rate. Safeties accept more students than they deny. (Students with slightly lower stats might have to adjust accordingly.)[/quote]
