Chance my daughter: 98.5 UW, 1560 SAT, 2/740 ranked, NY, for BME

Skipping a grade will probably hurt her, whether the counselor provides the reason or not.

Her record is commendable, but very typical of students applying to the schools you mention. Her activities are the usual sort for high achieving kids from well-resourced areas. She doesn’t seem to have anything to make her application pop, unless there is some things within her activities that aren’t obvious from your descriptions.

I don’t mean that she won’t get into any of these schools. She could. But this list is far too reach-y, and Wisconsin isn’t a safety for her.

Is she graduating this year or is she asking for next year?
