[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCs don't count toward 20, and you can always apply (or have to) outside the common app (e.g. Georgetown).  With the CCO saying basically nothing is a safety even for a 36 ACT 3.8 Big 3 kid but whose parents are nothing special, but then saying don't apply to more than 12, it's a stupid year overall.   [/quote]

This kind of kid would be screwed if they can only apply to 12. That GPA is problematic.

My kid is in the same boat GPA wise but at a non-DMV private that is permitting unlimited apps this year bc of the “unprecedented chaos” (their words….)[/quote]

DP. No. That GPA at a Big3 is not comparable to your kid's public school GPA.  The admissions officers know this and school rigor.  Since they don't have APs and have grade deflation- not inflation. 3.8 is high.[/quote]

My kid’s at a rigorous private but ok. 
It’s the private school kids under 3.9 but above 3.75 that are squeezed when the 3.9+ get dinged or deferred Ed and apply RD widely to 20+ schools…[/quote]

That’s my kid and her friends.  All over 3.9, 1550+/36 .  Most dinged, now applying RD.  She added 12 apps over the break.  [/quote]They're all over a 3.9/36 at a Big3 private? [/quote] Yeah no[/quote]
