[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Op here. Every school my kid wants to attend is T25. The lowest school is UVA, which I know is not considered a safety.[/quote] My kid applied to 10 schools but it is a different ballgame when your low reach accepts 30% vs when you are looking at schools that accept 25% as your safety. That said, I think the general advice strategy still remains the same that your child has least two schools that are truly safety/targets including at least one that has rolling/early notification and you use ED strategically. My kid had more of a reach heavy list BUT I insisted on true safety/targets. 2 safeties (over 50% acceptance) applied EA, 2 targets applied EA, 3 low reach with one of them EA, and 3 high reach under 10% acceptance. In the end it was 6 acceptance including spring admit, 2 waitlist including one with a pathway for spring, and 2 rejections.[/quote]
