[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a high stats kid how many matches/reaches would you suggest including if they’re applying to 10 schools total? (And by matches/reaches I mean BU/Colgate type schools, not ivies.) [/quote] 50-50 Based on how kids from your school have performed in those schools. Use Naviance. Also, talk to your counselor. [/quote] Ugh sorry. For high stat kids - the match and reach are the same. I was using match/reach as one category and safeties as another. Naviance will even show Harvard as a Match for a High Stat kid. It is not. Nope. High stat kids are usually working with only two categories of schools in Naviance, but don't get fooled. [b]The matches are actually reaches.[/b] [/quote] +1 Wish someone had told us this very, very very important piece of information. [/quote]
