[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I fully appreciate that admissions at selective colleges are incredibly competitive and often unpredictable, I think I bought too much into the pessimism here and on CC. DC was admitted to several highly selective schools and maybe should have been more aggressive in applying to reach schools. DC is at a great school that's a great fit, so I can't complain too much. But it certainly raised the anxiety.[/quote]

Agree. My kid applied to several rolling/EA targets and safeties and received several acceptances by early December. That motivated him to add some additional reaches including Ivies/T20.  You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take right?[/quote]

And on the flip side, listen to your kid when they insist they really truly want to ED to the match they love. It's their life, and they don't have to take those shots to prove anything to you or salve your ego. We nearly messed up big time on this, and I'm so so so glad we listened to our kid in the end.[/quote]
