They are all reaches. Start thinking about matches and safeties.

Make sure you can afford them all. Use each of their Net Price Calculators.

I definitely have. She has GW and Fordham in mind for safeties. All of the schools she has picked are affordable

Fordham and GW are targets, NOT safeties. Advice kindly meant to a newbie.

Husband is convinced they're safeties. What school should she add as a true safety then?

Tufts ED1
BC or BU ED2
Northeastern is the safety

What does your DD want to do after college OP?

Currently, she's interested in becoming a psychologist and opening up her own practice. However, her interests have shifted over the past couple of years and I think she wants a school that is flexible in regard to her major in case she changes her mind again

How does a coop fit into that picture? Versus say, clinical research?

Good work experience including lab work or research assistance is always helpful for anything.

I think that can be achieved with internships, but if she wants coop cool. It definitely isn’t for everyone as it breaks up the undergrad experience. My DC hated the idea and didn’t apply to Northeastern for that reason.

Sure, coop is basically internship with more flexibility and support by the school. Also students get most coops in the Boston area, stay on campus(dorm), and very much involved in undergrad experience.

Oh FFS.If you’re going to boost for NEU just be honest about it OP.

+1– there’s a lot to say for the coop plan but saying it’s the same undergrad experience doesn’t match anything I’ve heard

She won’t go to BC because of religion but she’ll go to Fordham?
I don’t think you know enough about the schools OP

It's a matter of personal preference.

Because why?

Like Boston?

I think the better question is why not?
