[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on your relationship with your kid, but I insisted my kid add a couple of schools to their list. One was an in-state target, which I thought was a good alternative to the in-state flagship I knew they might not get in to, and one was a safety, which initially they had on their list but then application fatigue started to take over. They were balking at the "Why X" essay. I offered to sit down with them and talked them through how they could quickly reword one of their other "Why X" essays. It ended up being a super generic essay, but they got in. Also, there was one target/safety school they wanted to take off their list, but then we agreed they would apply and skip the "optional" essay. I honestly thought they wouldn't get in when they did that, but they did. [/quote]
