Do your own research and trust your gut. You are going to have pre conceived notions about the schools going in. Keep in mind that a lot has changed since UB was created over 15 years ago. I was surprised doing the math on exmissions that the results didn’t match the UB tiers. Also, if it looks like admissions will be remote again, prepare your child for zoom interviews. Do on line classes like on Outschool or schedule zoom calls with friends your child doesn’t know. By the time my child had zoom interviews she just thought it was another on line class.
1) Connections matter. Find your connections now to the schools you are most interested in
2) Start collecting anecdotes about your kid you can drop into essays to make them colorful
3) Donate to your current PS if you haven't already done so
