[quote=Anonymous]My parents were like that. My parents went to BC, as a safety school when they didn’t get into Harvard. They thought my daughter with “all As” (many were actually A-) and 1480 SAT should just apply to Ivys and maybe BC and UVA as safety schools. They were flabbergasted that she was rejected from both BC and UVA and didn’t even apply to any Ivys. She did apply widely and was accepted to ten schools in the top 100, and picked a wonderful school with the programs she wants and where she got huge merit aid. She’s happy and I’m happy. My parents think it is much lower than where she should be going. Looking back on things I wish I had refused to discuss colleges with them all together. [/quote]
