[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to those who have shared far. I was getting concerned bc Princeton's common data set says 68% of the freshman class had a 4.0 in HS.

I don't think our high school counselor will have any advice for us. We are checking naviance (which isn't completely accurate), and keeping notes on where the senior class is headed this year. [/quote]

Well, if you are "getting nervous" because Princeton might be out of reach, you are approaching the process wrong.

Most applicants will be rejected from highly selective colleges. Do the math.

Your kid has to find a range that he/she can imagine being their new home for the next few years. Make that your goal, not achieving perfection to ensure admission to at T20. That is the wrong goal.

You want a place that will take you kid. Where your kid will be happy and finish growing to adulthood, while receiving a strong education.[/quote]

Yeah, you just can't build your whole outlook around one college.
