Thanks so much for your feedback on the school visits @LisaMBA, very helpful info!
Just wanted to comment on one thing, though. Connecticut College has a 41% admission rate (source). Even if you have a super high-stat kid, I’d be nervous at considering that a safety. Likely? Sure. But I’d want something with even better odds of acceptance…at the very least a school that accepts the majority of applicants, but preferably at least 60-80% of applicants. I just can’t see a school that accepts less than half of its applicants as a safety.
