Thinking of toledo’s comment (^^^), it occurred to me that our GC would more likely undershoot the possibility of getting in than overshoot it. That is, she’d rather suggest easier targets than higher ones.

Last year, she strongly urged my son to add many more safeties and warned him and us that his ED choice was “a big stretch”. He got in.

In the end, yes, he got in but it’s still a stretch. So, it’s not just about the acceptance, but about the fit and I suppose that’s most important.
