[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fundamentally don't understand these posts. My kid applied only to schools where they wanted to go...whether reach, target or safety. There was no "dream" school because that's a flawed concept...there were 5 schools call it where there was more excitement vs. the other 5, but that's about it. Kid ended up getting into 4 of the 10 EA, so withdrew from the other 6 because 2 of the 4 were top candidates...but one of the final 2 was a reach and the other a safety, yet it was still sort of a tough choice.[/quote] Logically you can know not to have a dream school, but these are teens, and feelings aren’t always rational. Safeties are particularly hard for tippy top students. It feels like a failure after working harder than most.[/quote]
