[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She does community college and applies again for the sophomore year.[/quote]

She's a straight-A student. We're not looking for Ivy League, but I'd be pissed if it came to this, to put it mildly. [/quote]
Yes, definitely apply to some others. You  know which ones she is applying to, so that means you know, or can easily research, which ones are similar but have higher admissions rates. Pick those out, and then just sit down with her next to the computer some Saturday afternoon and just do it.[/quote]
This. I never understand kids dreaming of Michigan (OOS) who don't also apply early to IU. Or UVA (OOS) dreamers who don't apply also early to KU. Or Williams dreamers who don't also apply to St. Lawrence. Etc. There surely are schools on her list that have near-doppelgangers that are substantially less rejective--she should apply to those near-doppelgangers. (Plural: It's a mental health win to have more acceptances than rejections, at at least multiple acceptances to choose between/among.)[/quote]

NP here. This makes me feel good about my kid’s list: they are applying/have already applied to the first four schools you listed.  [/quote]
