[quote=Anonymous][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]

With these stats you are competitive at every school.   It’s still a crapshoot at the top 30 unless you have a hook.  Safeties would be most schools outside the top 30.  [/quote]
NP. Safeties would be outside top 60 ish, more like 80s. Examples, in the 40s, schools like BU and Northeastern are nowhere close to safe. Santa Clara (50s) has a reputation for yield protection.[/quote]
