So you applied to 18 reaches? Why?

Because they are clearly desperate for prestige. As are most others on this board. There’s no way that kid thoroughly researched 18 colleges and loved each one enough to apply.

umm, or maybe didn't care and just wanted to go someplace good.

ED 1- rejected
EA 7- 1 accept (over my dead body); 1 reject; 5 deferred
RD - 11 waiting

Stressed is an understatement.

Oh, wow. Hang in there. Lots of wine for you this month!

5 total.

3 EA (1 reach, 2 targets, accepted to the reach and 1 target, deferred from the other target)
2 RD, both safeties

How many people took over their kids applications?

I’m
Sorry. 19 is absolutely ridiculous. No wonder we’re in this predicament where schools ranked 50-100 (and I’m not bashing them - almost all my DD’s apps were in this range) have 20% acceptance rates. Nobody needs to apply to this many schools. Nobody.
