[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather have my kid "waste" time researching and writing extra school essays than watching more nonsense on Netflix. Given the unpredictability of holistic college admissions, many schools that were previously safe/target are now reach schools. My kid actually got into a super unlikely reach. I'm so glad I didn't discourage my kid from going for it, even though school counselor (and we as parents) were a bit skeptical. Unexpected great outcomes can happen! I know kids deferred from their safe and target schools and admitted to their reach. When that happens, it doesn't make sense to limit safe/targets to 1-2, bc you have no idea what will happen...[b] That is why putting more hooks in the water isn't a bad strategy..[/b].[/quote] Agree that's what we saw this cycle. The high stats kids who put a lot of "hooks in the water" were the ones surprised with an unexpectedly great outcome at a reach.[/quote]
