[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids--the youngest is currently a high school senior.  The previous 3 have all encountered anomalies in their application/acceptance experiences.  It happens.  I like the [b]recent change that the College Board has made to the college list[/b].  [b]All the schools that you put on your list are sorted by reach--match---safety according to the stats in your profile (GPA, SAT scores, etc.) [/b] For my kid, reaches are easily identified and some of the matches were surprising--and luckily right on target with my kid's interests.  Having a hard time finding safeties--99% are odd little schools, religious colleges or lesser known locations for state universities.  But it has been a good tool to illustrate what the true meaning of each category is.  Essentially, a safety school is one where they will accept you as long as you are alive and breathing. [/quote]

My DD has a college list on her College Board site, along with test scores. How does one sort the colleges on the list?[/quote]
