BrooklynGuy, I don’t know if there are others who are like us, but we decided to apply only to some “reach/match” schools (I believe my S is competitive enough for some of the best schools but who can safely say they are their “matches” not “reaches” lol). If he can’t make into any one of them, then we are fine sending him to an excellent local day school here, for which we are confident he can make it. We wouldn’t want him to join a second tier BS - figure it’s not worth it.
