<p>Okay… how many parents are the ones checking portals?? My D2 did not care AT ALL to check her admissions (letters or portals). She asked me to keep an eye on it and let her know if she got in (seriously). And I did… no idea that was considered “interest” by some schools, but I was watching 'em.</p>
<p>Almost all of the CTLC colleges are really going to be a snooze for a kid with those stats – not a great safety for that reason. I had a high stats kid, and we visited some of them… none ended up on her list. I do get why they are great for some kids, but for a kid with stats like that not so great.</p>
<p>My kid with almost perfect higher test scores (2380, Math II 800, Lit 800), but a bit lower GPA had the following low match/safeties: Macalester, Kenyon, Mount Holyoke (which won’t work for this kid because of gender), and Lawrence. Admitted to all with merit aid. What about St. Mary’s College of Maryland or Dickinson if he wants to stay NE? One of my kids was admitted to Bates & Dickinson, liked the Dickinson campus better and attended there (not the high stats kid, though).</p>
