[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not an either/or question. They can “reach big” as long as they identify targets and safeties that they also like.

My humanities kid has a 4.0 uw with 10 APs, top 7% of class, TO. Has gotten into a top 30 LAC (target) with top merit and a few 50%+ admit rate state schools with top merit or honors. Rejected from two top 25 universities, still waiting on a few top 20 SLACs (all of them varying degrees of reaches).[/quote]

Any chance you might reveal the Top 30 LAC?

I have a likely TO kid (ADHD with no accommodations makes standardized testing hit or miss) with a great GPA (3.9+/4.8+) and aiming for an IB diploma, and I still have no idea how much merit she might get from LACs.

We could probably afford all but the priciest schools if she got a good chunk of merit, but DCUM seems to insist that TO students only get merit at middling and below. Wondering how true that is. [/quote]

Fabulous to hear—it’s on her list of schools with her preferred programs! Will encourage her to look closer.

I have a super-sharp young colleague who’s a Macalester grad, and she loved her time there. [/quote]

Thanks. Have heard nothing but great things about it. It’s a very strong contender, especially because of the merit.[/quote]
