[quote=Anonymous]Who is bothering with the T'20 or T'30 these days anyway? The odds are so astronomically low even if you're playing olympic level sports or off the charts EC and unweighted straight A average in hardest courses available. And then you don't even enjoy your high school years and are devastated when the college you do go into doesn't bring you instant happiness. My DC is getting an A- average unweighted at a strong private school and only doing sports and ECs in a relaxed way, and also has time to devote to many hobbies discovered organically. We have no delusions of grandeur that DC will get into any T'30 schools or even our own alma maters (Penn and BU) because they have become too difficult to get into. We're encouraging DC to apply to schools that have acceptance rates of 40-50%-ish with a few they really like as reaches which have 20-30% acceptance rates. They will be fine.[/quote]
