[quote=Anonymous][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] For a true high stats kid I would [b]1) ensure first choice is done ED[/b] and 2) apply to more than 10, with the extras in the "high match/match" category.[/quote] Is 4.0 uw (with 9-11) APs total and 1540 SAT true high stats? School limits applications to 10. [/quote] It is, [b]but there are 30,000-50,000 kids with the same stats applying to the same schools.[/b] and that doesn't factor donors, athletes, URM, first Gen, legacies etc.[/quote] Yup. All the high stats kids look alike, frankly - that is why it is a lottery. There is no magic answer, but some parents think they can "find" it somewhere. [/quote]
