[quote=Anonymous]What is so special about a "reach" school anyway? That other people want to get in? That some provosts and administrators from other universities think it has a great reputation, so they fill out a few forms hastily for the USNWR surveyors? I guess being highly rejective also helps a school climb up the rankings. But how does that help our kids? They want to get into schools and be given a chance, not be rejected. My DS visited a target that he got into last year: UW Seattle. He was gob-smacked when he finally toured campus, the city, and sat in on a class. "This campus is gorgeous, Mom. This city is so cool. The people are friendly and great. There's so much to do. I love it here." It immediately shot up to his #1 spot. [/quote]
