Chances at Penn/ Harvard/ Yale? ED/ EA?

If the school counselors believe that Penn and others are a reach, what type of letter would they write for your child if he applied there?

@sgopal2

Reading through the tea leaves, it appears your son will be facing competition from within his own class at these top colleges. So thats why they told him everything is a reach.

Be careful on reading the tea leaves. At my HS, my CC office told every applicant (unless totally unqualified) that Harvard/Yale/Penn is a reach - because they are. What’s important is what colleges the CC will most support through their rec, which should not be a question they would evade.
