[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do 4.0/1550 kids really end up at Belmont or Drew because of lack of better options?

I can see choosing these schools for specific programs or scholarships dollars or vicinity to home or any number of reasons but....are there really kids who end up there simply because they're a target school and they don't get in anywhere else?

No they don’t. Posters on these boards pulling ideas out of their a$$[/quote]

It’s so annoying. This is a high stats kid who should be looking at top colleges and people are suggesting “less competitive” or “second rung” state schools and places like college of Charleston or Belmont. OP said nothing about looking for a less competitive school and why would she when her daughters stats are so high.[/quote]

What are your suggestions for true targets and safeties?  This was OP’s question.  Not reaches.  Thoughts?[/quote]

St Olaf 
Oberlin
Kenyon
Franklin & Marshall
Bard
Bryn Mawr
College of Wooster

Colleges that have a little prestige and are more selective than Belmont (96% accepted) or college of Charleston (76% accepted) or university of Minnesota (75% accepted)  and Belmont avg SAT score is 1200. That should NOT be on OP’s list even if she likes the south.[/quote]

Half your suggestions are surrounded by corn fields when OP requested urban city![/quote]

Alright fair enough but to me a kid w 1550 won’t be happy a school like Belmont.[/quote]
