JUST RELEASED: WSJ's Best US Colleges 2026 [based mostly on outcomes above expected for students]

Excellent point. Thank you for highlighting that for me. Makes a ton of sense and I am 100% on board with that approach! Hadn’t thought about that.

Edit: I love the idea of framing a super reach as a “Hail Mary” and the top realistic school as first choice. It actually sets the right, realistic tone and expectations.
