[quote=Anonymous]I have been thinking about this as well. My oldest kid is a high stats kid with great EC's at a Big 3. Rejected early from an Ivy, thankfully into one safety with "merit $" and into one one target/safety. The rest of my senior kid's applications are all reaches. I think my kid will end up at the target safety - a school thankfully they love and are excited to attend. Here is the issue I have a junior applying next year. Great kid - medium/high stats, medium extracurriculars. I'm petrified about this kid finding safeties.. A friend of my senior kid has similar stats to our junior and also was deferred or rejected everywhere early like OP. I am hearing safeties are no longer safeties. I think the college advising offices are shocked by what is happening and playing catch up. When the safeties are also a lottery, it's hard to make good application decisions. For the first time ever I have heard of good qualified kids getting shut out. Its worrisome. [/quote]
