I would imagine the "are you kidding me you can get into that school!" list is the top 3 or 4 schools of US News WR that have competitive lax.
For my kid it would be:
Stanford, Duke, NU, Ivies and a few others
You and the rest of the wealthy and private school kids.
Why is that your answer? We are not wealthy and my kid goes to a public school. The Ivies give the best need aid of all colleges and the others have just as many scholarships as everyone else. Unless your in-state schools are a good match, why would you not think these schools are amazing opportunities??
Your the exception, look at the commit lists for these schools.
