[quote=Anonymous]Seems some are conflating "overqualified" and "better than" than a school given the person's stats, versus high likelihood of admission. GWU is a safety. American is a safety. SMU is a safety. Villanova is most likely a safety unless they yield protect. BC will not be. The OP has top 10 stats, but that doesn't mean he's guaranteed admission to BC, BU, NEU, NYU, etc. He likely will go to a better school than BC, BU, NEU, NYU. NEU might just offer first semester study abroad to him, or NYU looks at his financial profile and passes, or BC might pass because while the stats are special, maybe someone from his county is more appealing for whatever reason. If I was advising this kid, I would flat out tell him to plan on applying/attending an Columbia, UPenn, Brown, or Stanford, UChicago but also apply to 5-7 BC, BU-quality schools just in case. State flagship for your true safety and then go on with your life.[/quote]
