How to prepare for a college admissions decision?

<p>My daughter applied to many “match” schools, a safety school and two Ivys.<br>
We don’t know about the Ivys yet but she has gotten into all the others so far.
I tell her that only about 10% who apply get into the Ivys and that many many qualified people don’t get in…because mostly very qualified people apply and there are just so many of them. But, I tell her, you have a 0% chance of getting in if you don’t apply so I am glad she did.</p>
