[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS wanted a highly ranked school. Rejected in ED1 and ended up applying to 12 other top 20 schools. Got into 2 of them. He’s very happy to be heading to one of those![/quote] Many students want a highly ranked school, but not everyone gets what they want in college admissions. How many targets and safeties on your son's list?[/quote] Right. That’s what he applied to more. He had 1 safety, defined as a school he loved, that he was above 75%ile, and school accepted >50%. I think it’s stupid to decide not to play to more top schools if that’s what you want. Sure you may not get it, but that isn’t relevant to trying to improve your odds. [/quote]
