[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No top 25 is a true safety, even with stats in the top quartile. Also, if your kid is a writer, are there SLACs of interest? Fwiw, my kid has similar stats and his safeties are in the 25-50 range (20-30 for SLACs.) Some excellent choices in that range. [/quote] Unfortunately DD has no interest even though I suggested Williams and Swarthmore to her - they are not in the top 25 so out of her consideration set[/quote] She sounds like she clings desperately to external validation. Doesn’t that concern you? How have you helped her in the past when she was not being realistic? (I mean she may well get into a top 25 school, but be miserable there because it sounds like her research consisted of looking at what schools were on the list!) Does she have any identity deeper than that which would help her create a personalized list?[/quote]
