[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll bite. Here’s a selection of really nice schools, of different sizes and locations that could be of interest, depending on major and setting. Lots of very different schools.

Reach: Northwestern, Cornell, U Penn, U Chicago, Bowdoin, Brown, Dartmouth
Target / Reach: Michigan, Rochester, Wash U, Wesleyan, Middlebury, Tufts
Target: Colby, Colgate, U Washington, Boston College, NYU
Safeties: Univ of Toronto, McGill, Wisconsin, Reed, Bates, Dickinson, Gettysburg, Tulane[/quote]

My kid has a 3.9 at a Big3; can he/she move the target/reaches to target?[/quote]

If they are maintaining straight As in junior senior year in rigorous courses I’d say you’d get into 3 of the 6 regular and probably 5 of the 6 if you ED.  It’s all still such a crap shoot.  The benefit for strong kids now is that they will have all their junior year grades with face to face in session school.  I think the past seniors got screwed because grades were so wonky and inflated during remote learning.  [/quote]

Thx.  My kid has the 3.9 and change (3.95?) through junior year.  We not a legacy/URM/recruit.  Just smart and really driven.   Would be thrilled with Michigan.  Hard to know how high to aim.  [/quote]

3.95 at big 3: Mighican is basically a certainty.[/quote]

God shot at Michigan. Chicago.  Cornell if ED.  Need test scores and good ECs. [/quote]

Chicago if ED.

Don't waste an ED on Cornell unless you are legacy.[/quote]

Chicago is harder to get into than cornell.  It also doesn’t have back doors like the school of human ecology and ag.  [/quote]

Not for prep school kids who ED. STA sent something like 13 kids to Chicago this year, out of a class of 80. [/quote]

Yes - Chicago seems to love STA and Sidwell kids who are willing to ED.  Too bad my kid isn't interested in Chicago winters....[/quote]

Chicago knows that these kids are used to the academic grind and often find Chicago to be a step down in intensity.  I have a kid at one of these schools who is debating ED-ing to Chicago.  He isn't sure he wants to sign up for 4 more years of a pressure cooker environment. [/quote]
