[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing in this profile suggests a kid that would be admitted to a T10.  Good ecs and high stats aren’t enough for an unhooked kid.  However since you like Princeton and can afford it with aid, apply there.[/quote]

His counselor says he is in the range where he has seen kids get in, and of course also seen kids rejected. He says that it’s worth applying to a couple of those high reaches since if he gets in it will likely be cheaper than UMD.

So, he’s going to pick a couple schools where admissions is a reach but the money is guaranteed, and a couple schools where admissions is likely but the scholarship he’d need is a reach like Wisconsin, and some where the chances are more realistic for both.[/quote]

I wouldn’t be so sure that Princeton would be cheaper than UMD. I am not sure how they do it, but UMD has a knack for identifying Ivy admits and offers them the full ride BK. I know several now. If your unhooked kid is good enough for an Ivy, they’ll probably get a full ride at UMD.[/quote]

If he gets a full BK, or something like Stamps Eminence at Ohio State, I'm pretty sure he'd choose that over Princeton.  But those are reaches too, probably as unlikely as Princeton, so he might as well apply to both.  [/quote]
