[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks UNC is a safety for OOS has zero clue about the college process. [/quote]

Unpopular opinion on here, I suppose, but it shouldn't take a degree in game theory to figure out where to apply for college. [/quote]

And it doesn't.

Apply to as many reaches as you want/can afford to, but know that they are ALL REACHES, and you likely won't get it.  Be surprised if you do, not disappointed that you don't.

Then find 3-5 great/amazing Targets that fit your kid and their major and apply.  It helps to make some of those targets more likely by aiming for an acceptance rate of 30-35%+ and your kid above 75/85%. With those stats, even with engineering, there are plenty of choices in the 30-100 range that will meet the Target and Safety definition)

Then find safeties that you actually like and want to attend.

And yes, even "high stats kids" can find those targets and safeties.  If you don't, well then you might be disappointed come March/April, and that is completely your fault, not the college application process. [/quote]
