[quote=Anonymous]Mindsets need to change around college admissions. So many parents are older and remember when students only applied to 5-6 schools, admissions weren't as competitive, and colleges didn't practice yield protection, etc. If your kid is going to apply to a bunch of highly selective colleges, you should start to think of it the same way college seniors looked at applying to med schools decades ago - it was more important to get into med school than to get into five. The media tends to play up the stories of applicants - typically URMs - who get into every Ivy, along with Stanford, Duke and Chicago, and have their pick, and people need to know those stories are click bait and that this is not going to happen to 99.9% of the white or Asian kids applying to top schools in large numbers.
