[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going through this right now, and it seems like the only real targets for high stats kids are public universities. It’s really hard to find private universities that are targets because they are either “reaches for all” or safeties.[/quote]

My kids weren’t quite as high stats but I think cost, prestige and DI probably play more of a role in why it feels hard to have a private universities as targets. If a kid has the kind of stats where they could be a strong contender for T15, would they actually be willing to attend, and the family pay full freight, for a private university in the 40-100 range?  The public university target probably has enough prestige, maybe the added bonus of honors and/or merit.  The private universities, while we don’t want to think of it as a business, have to make their numbers both in terms of how many to accept that will accept them back, and at what price point between merit and/or financial aid.  IMO that’s why demonstrated interest along with building a class with a decent amount of ED plays a role.[/quote]
