<p>Pretty good. She contacted coach yet?</p>

11

<p>yes, an interview is set. What about student 2?</p>

12

<p>Ok last question, I promise.</p>

<p>Briefly describe the rigor of the classes you have taken in high school.</p>

<p>Give: Number of AP/IB classes, number of Honors classes and rank your courseloads on the following scale in the context of your school and your classmates.</p>

<p>Most Rigorous/Challenging
Very Rigorous/Challenging
Moderately Rigorous/Challenging
Less Rigorous/Challenging
Least Rigorous/Challenging</p>

<p>As for public vs private. It depends. Being top of your class in a private feeder high school probably gives you a leg up. But, I don’t think it is a disadvantage, per se, to be from public/private.</p>

<p>high match to low reach for student one. with exceptional essays and letters of recommendation, predicted acceptance.</p>

<p>high match to mid reach for student two. with exceptional essays and letters of recommendation, predicted acceptance as well, more iffy than student one though.</p>

15

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

16

<p>If you have time, what do you think about:</p>

<p>Tufts
Boston College
Amherst
Dartmouth
UNC
UMich
William and Mary
Vanderbilt</p>

17

<p>S1
Tufts- high match
Boston College- high match/low reach
Amherst-mid to high reach
Dartmouth - mid to high rich
UNC- assuming you’re out of state mid to high reach
UMich- high match
William and Mary- high match
Vanderbilt- low reach</p>

<p>S2
Tufts- low reach
Boston College- low reach
Amherst- mid to high reach
Dartmouth- mid to high reach
UNC- assuming OOS, mid to high reach
UMich- low reach
William and Mary- low to mid reach
Vanderbilt-mid reach</p>

<p>tough to predict, but you should both get into midd plus 2-4 of these others</p>

<p>add some safeties, obviously</p>

18

<p>*definitely get second opinions and apply to all of them regardless…none of them are so ridiculous that it’s not worth submitting an aplication</p>

19

<p>Thanks again so much. Do you think we are thinking along the right lines as to where we will be wanted? As in, do you think we are over estimating our chances? We are both extremely nervous and hopeful. =) Also, what do you think sets Student 1 apart so much from the second?</p>
