[quote=Anonymous]One kid wanted a school they could be proud of, mid-sized or larger, preferably not far from a larger city. Kid preferred Georgetown, Penn, Northwestern, Harvard, Boston College, Michigan, Vanderbilt, UVA. I insisted on adding Dartmouth, Cornell, & Notre Dame. Kid was adamant about not picking any true safeties & was prepared to do a gap year if things didn’t work out. Got in Mich, BC, ND, & Northwestern. Waitlisted at Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, & UVA (OOS). In retrospect, should have done more to show interest & applied to less-popular major. Other kid wanted rah-rah school. Applied to schools like Florida State, Kentucky, Alabama, Mich State, Texas Tech, Nebraska. Got in all with merit money. [/quote]
