[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a strong student but didn't care about the so-called top 20 schools, he wanted a place where his major was strong and there was a great student experience, he had 2 safeties he would be delighted to attend and a bunch of targets that were lovely. He added 2 reaches in the end but wasn't fixated on them. It made the process much smoother given he didn't focus at all on the highly rejective schools and used scoir to ensure his targets were were really targets for his HS. As a result, he got in nearly everywhere and is happy with results! Aim realistically and don't hype up the overhyped schools, and this process can be fun not depressing.[/quote] My kid's list was similar to this, but surprisingly they wish they had applied to more reaches.
