[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in the top 1-2% of her large public high school and has a 1540 SAT (school average is mid 1000) with lots of leadership. She has no interest in attending any of the schools that are considered true safeties and would rather apply to several high targets instead of adding a safety. She applied EA in state to UMD but their acceptances have been so weird lately, that I'm starting to worry that this is a bad ieaa. She's not applying for any impacted majors. Thoughts?

My kid, class of 2025, was in a similar situation from a large public MD HS. We considered UMD engineering a safety and UMD + Honors/merit a target. He also applied to VT engineering as a safety. This was all based on his HS Naviance. Depending on her HS, she may wish to consider a state flagship as another safety. There may be some with EA deadlines of December 1.

My kid was rejected or WL at all reaches. He is a happy Terp with Honors & merit. He was also accepted to VT & their Honors College.[/quote]
