Also, tip from a private college counselor:

if you notice RD schools who CAME to your school this fall, make sure you apply there. Esp if this was the first year they came in a while.

They are looking for students from your school - too many kids ignore that list - and its actually really telling.

You miss every shot you don’t take. My kid already has acceptances to other schools including some full rides. So nothing to lose by applying RD now to 4 Ivies - nothing except a little time and effort.

^^ RD for Yale, Columbia, Vanderbilt, Harvard and Penn. He’s good with 5.
