I didn’t want to get into the safety/reach/target discussion (that was my mistake only listing reach schools) but this comment has me curious. When we think of target schools vs. safety schools, I’ve been using the high school’s Naviance page to get a sense of how kids with similar SAT/GPA from my S’s high school have done over the past few years. So taking Lehigh, for example, great school but seems my son would be the highest GPA from his high school to ever apply (and the school gets roughly 30% of its applicants in). I put that in the safety category. Is that wrong? In discussing w/ my son last night, he really struggles with the idea that he puts in so much more time than many of his peers and he should be targeting Lehigh. Again, nothing wrong with the school. It’s a very good school. But it seems for kids with these types of numbers, targets are hard to circle because the schools that match their numbers are all highly rejective and so they are all reaches. Seems there are safe schools and reaches and maybe a few targets sprinkled in. But, for example, his numbers on Naviance seem to match up pretty well at his school with UVA and Georgetown and I think most consider those reaches for any kid.
