[quote=Anonymous]DS is applying to 4 schools he really likes, including one that I think is not going to be academically challenging enough. He’s also applying to 1 school that I like but he doesn’t. All 5 are somewhat to very competitive. Should he also apply to 1-2 backup schools? If he ends up accepted at a backup and waitlisted at one or more of the schools he really likes, how difficult would it be to switch later? Along that line, does the waitlist just mean for that year and you reapply the next year? Or are you on the waitlist for multiple years? If you have to reapply every year, how does that work if you need recs etc from the backup school you’re attending? If you still don’t get into your preferred school, have you hurt your standing at the backup you’re attending? Or do you just accept that if you only get into the backup that that’s where you’re going til the end? [/quote]
