[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 Rule in college admissions should be:

Make sure your child finds a safety they LOVE.

Takes away all the anxiety, strain, and heartbreak. If you didn’t do this, you’re an idiot.

Finding a safety they LOVE may be stressful in and of itself. Finding a safety they like well enough, is affordable and can definitely get into is just fine. [/quote]
It really should not be that hard.  There are plenty of great schools with a good size group of really smart kids everywhere in the top 100

It's on you to help your kid realize they can thrive somewhere other than a t20 school

Don't select a safety and you might really dislike where you end up freshman year[/quote]
My kid easily came up with two safeties that were just fine with him. Was he in LOVE with these schools? Champing at the bit to go there? Salivating over the prospect? No. Yet amazingly, all went well. He ended up going to a target but seriously considered the safeties and would have been happy at either.
