[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents and counselors need to change the lingo. Stop calling schools "safeties."[b] These are schools that you are likely to get into and so likely the school you will go to.[/b] If you are in the middle 50th, then you and a bunch of others just like you are fighting for those spots, but there isn't enough room for all of you. [/quote] One college counselor I heard interviewed calls them exactly that, "likelies" [/quote] To add to this, for terminology, in my opinion "likely" is an appropriate term for the target/match range. (The problem comes when likely is misinterpreted as safety.)[/quote]
