[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is hard for high stat kids who don't have a clear hook. Every school comes up as a match - but you know there is so much luck involved. They want to apply to the handful they really want to go to, find some schools in the 25-30 that won't yield protect them, and then some safeties (their state school, less selective SLACs) - you can get to 10+ pretty quickly. [/quote] Especially if that kid has great scores and wants a SLAC. The odds are low, but not zero, so why not Apply to Carleton, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, Heverford, Bowdoin, Swarthmore.... A kid happy at one will likely be happy at any. That kid will still need matches, so add anther 3 and safeties, so a few more [/quote] +1 My DD is in this category. She has a long list of colleges she wants to apply to, but only decided the college for ED, rest are the same to her. When she told friends that she might apply to 15 colleges, many found it's too many. [/quote]
