[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2023: 20 (including 12 reaches, after ED1 deferral). At ivy.

2025: 22 (including 14 reaches, after ED1 deferral). Enrolled at T10.[/quote]

Why so many reaches?[/quote]

Better question: how many acceptances from the reach schools?

[/quote]

But if the reach the kid eventually ends up at was a high reach, isn’t one reach acceptance enough? 
That’s the whole point of the 20+ apps with 10-13 reaches, right? Just to get one reach?[/quote]
this was my kid - accepted 3/3 safeties (T70), accepted 3/3 targets (T50), accepted 6/7 low reach (T25), accepted 1/9 high reach (T15) with 3 waitlist. T20 is just hard to predict. for next kid, will apply to fewer safeties/targets but we didn't know what to expect with first kid. [/quote]

Similar for my kid. Applied to 22 schools. Attending T10 school that was admitted to in RD.
Accepted to:
5/5 likelies (applied to too many - with $$$ at most) 
4/6 targets ($$$ from 2; WL at 1 and rejected 1)
3/7 low reaches (T16-25 and T10 SLAC) (WL at 2; rejected 2);
1/4 high reach (T15) (WL at 1; rejected at 2) - attending this school.
