Too Many Choices????

Wow! I haven’t checked in on this post in a few days and was so pleasantly surprised by all the support and feedback! She has fine tuned a list of 8 schools, arranged in a different order than most. She has arranged them in three catagories.


Service Academy - USNA
NROTC Scholarship Schools
Notre Dame
Villanova
Marquette
University of San Diego
University of Idaho (ROTC requires a state school choice)
No Naval Option
Notre Dame
Washington University in SL
Seattle University


Her first choice is the NROTC at Notre Dame. I wanted to clarify too, that I think I see reach schools a little differently than many. I see a match as a school that you fit the stated class profile. I guess what I mean is that academically she has no reaches, as to the selectivity of the admissions committee and the traits they are looking for in a class, they are always a reach as we have no control over those things and they are outside our control. Sort of like a 4th category…safety, match, reach, “individual fit”.

Thank you all for your advice and input!
