[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at schools CDS and "By the Numbers" or similar page to get 50% for GPA & SAT and overall acceptance rates. A safety would be where your kids stats are near the 75th percentile and the acceptance rate is greater than 80%. Apply to 3 or 4 of these and your kid will get into at least one. A target would be where your kid is in th50th percentile or greater and the school has an acceptance rate of 45-50% or better. Apply to 3 or 4 of these and your kid will mot likely get into at least one. If you are not URM or ADLC everything else is a reach these days. If you have a particular skill/talent they need that admission cycle like tuba player in the school band, your chances improve, otherwise a crapshoot.[/quote] This is excellent advice.[/quote]
