i understand your viewpoint quite well. the reason i’m suggesting the breakdown is college applicants can have a quick start and as they go deeper into some of these schools, be it state, private or liberals arts, they’ll soon realize that there are many more equally good (if not even better in some aspects) schools to choose from.

for example, liberal arts colleges like elon, hendrix, hiram, kalamazoo, beloit, new college of florida, knox college are all exellent schools but less-known and that’s why i’m naming them on purpose.

or for example consider as safeties (no offense since they are all good) state us like ncsu-raleigh, msu-lansing, ut knoxville, just to name a few.

i really feel hs students next year need to explore more and keep options open for a good mixture of colleges to apply to.

by the way, if cc participants start to look more into these less-known but really good colleges, they will eventually make an impact on the college choices as these many schools are as good as many other better known, and even better in my opinion, reaches and safeties
