[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be a safety for a high stats kid from DC (4.0 unweighted, 35 ACT)?[/quote] Reach for a top 15 national university (NU) or top 5 SLAC; aim/target 15-50 NU or 5-15 SLAC; safety 50-100 NU or 16-30 SLAC. [/quote] If safety means a greater than 75% chance of acceptance then it can easily be a t30-50 school for a kid with high stats from a strong HS with rigorous curriculum [/quote] The problem with this strategy is that any private school in the top 100 might be unpredictable about how it handles being treated as a safety. I think one requirement for a safety for a high-stats kid is that it takes all reasonably well-behaved high-stats kids. [/quote] True. Yield protection is a b*tch! (I fear my kid’s second choice school will probably think it’s being used as a safety. Yikes!) [/quote]
