[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best decision my kid made was applying to WM ED.  It was a high match. Many of her friends with higher GPAs/ at or above 75% applied to reaches in ED and WM in RD and weren’t accepted. They are now headed to JMU, VT arts & sciences, GMU or VCU. All good schools, but a tier down. [/quote]

This was my DDs experience at UVA[/quote]

This was DS’s experience at Duke. [/quote]

So Duke (and schools of that sort) can be considered high matches?  [/quote]

It was a low reach for DS. That was based on his stats and lots of research into who Duke admitted in years past for which major. DS is a humanities major, which we thought factored in.

We ended up calculating 50-60% odds for Duke ED and about 20% for Brown, his favorite Ivy. [/quote]

Would love more info on your research into Duke, if you wouldn't mind sharing, it is my kid's top choice but he thinks it is a high reach for him.  My son is at a DC private that hasn't had a lot of luck at Duke compared to other even more competitive schools so counselor has feels like he doesn't have great info.  Thanks for your help and thoughts.[/quote]
