[quote=Anonymous][quote]Mom was so proud of the effort her child was putting in, and the grades he was getting, she was sure he’d be a shoo-in to these SLACs she hadn’t even heard of. She actually thought they were no-name schools. [/quote] She'll be here in May complaining that her kid was "shut out." The overall admit rate is only one factor in admissions. Demand for major (nursing, engineering, CS, business), popularity of the school and timing of the application (ED, EA, RD) have to be considered as well when picking safeties. Like PPs, my DC was accepted at all 3 three safeties, with nice merit. If you spend some time looking at the CDS for schools, you should be able to make a realistic list. [/quote]
