[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is most students apply to too many reaches and not enough targets or safeties. [/quote] Why tho? I don't see the logic. If you accept that even a top notch student has almost no chance to get into a reach school, then it makes sense to increase the chances of acceptance by applying to more. Why would that kid apply to more likelies when the reaches would always be the preferred choice? I answered above that my kid had 1 safety (admitted), 4 likelies (3 admitted, 1 wait-list), 15 reaches (admitted at 5, waitlisted 5, rejected 5) (I think that's right). I don't know why my kid would have wanted more likelies when he was always going to pick one of the reaches if he had the chance. As for the reach acceptances... no way to predict the ones that took him vs wait-list vs rejected.[/quote]
