And if your daughter is coming from NOVA her picks are primarily matches/targets for her scores, not safeties.  It seems more like she hasn't selected a "reach" school.  [/quote]

Not according to Naviance.  Looking at her desired major at tech, the average SAT is 1230, and wgpa is 3.92, so she is significantly above both.  For engineering, it would not be a safety.[/quote]

I wouldn't say 4.1 is significantly above 3.92.  It sounds like match territory.   Safety IMO is when you're above the 75th (in your Naviance not overall) and the school admits 50%+.  I say this as someone who just went through my kids' application season with slightly higher scores than your daughter.  Those are really "inbetween" scores in this area. Her list looks appropriate to me--she's likely to get in lots of places and be around plenty of similarly prepared students but also likely to be strong enough to access opportunities. Cornell seems like a throwaway application.[/quote]
