[quote=Anonymous]this question shows maturity and wisdom. Good for you OP setting your DC on a healthy path early on. I agree with responder who suggested making lists entirely of schools where your child can imagine themselves being happy. We also emphasized that and to narrow down list of schools that are strong in whatever areas your DC is interested in with different levels of admit difficulty. Also, that it can be harder to get into top post grad programs (especially STEM) coming from HYP/ ivies/ uber elite schools since they want the top 10% of undergrad grads just like the top undergrad schools when admitting high school students. It is more important to focus on balancing long term goals (vet school/ engineering/ law/ education or whatever) with schools that are both strong in fields they are interested in and have school cultures they can enjoy (Greek life or no Greek life, rec sports or big team sports/ urban or rural etc., Good luck!
