[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked by how many kids are waitlisted, including ours: 7 admits (2 safeties, 3 targets, 2 reaches), 3 rejections (1 after ED deferral), 4 waitlists Every single one of DC’s friends is waitlisted at at least one T50 school, and a few are waitlisted at 3+ T50 schools. Is this normal? How to proceed? (No major awards or honors since the fall.) [/quote] How many safeties and how many targets and how many reaches did you have? Does it make sense to have more than 2-3 safeties?[/quote] I really think 2 safeties are plenty if your kid actually like them. My kid only had one safety (Indiana Kelley), but he would have reluctantly added another in RD if he didn’t get in. Then he had 4 targets and 10 reaches. Applying for business, so needed more than 12 since it is so competitive. [/quote]
