[quote=Anonymous]Remember that your child's biggest competition is going to be the other students applying from his/her high school. Naviance isn't totally reliable, but if your child's GPA and test score are within a sea of green, that's a good sign. I saw a recommendation on here to check out College Vine for a more accurate chance of acceptance and found it helpful - and correct for my DC! ED doesn't mean you can't apply for FA. DC applied ED to a top 20 SLAC and got almost $25k in FA. +1 to everyone recommending that kids write Common App essay in the summer. Game changer having that done before school started. I don't have proof that it helped, but I think having a volunteer commitment that is continuous throughout middle school and high school, or even just high school, is helpful. Shows dedication in the EC section, and it provided something to write about for additional essays. I will add DC loved the work and didn't do it just for the college app.[/quote]
