Definitely aimed too low[/quote]

She didn't look at it as aiming low. We needed merit aid and she preferred not to stay in-state so she aimed for schools she knew would give her good merit aid and she could shine. She is very happy so far and we as parents are supporting her choices and of course relieved that many of the schools she chose are affordable. [/quote]

+1  I want to be your friend. I posted above about my DS and we, as a family, took the same approach, which was not aim for the stars, but aim for what is a good fit, realistic academically and financially, and won't leave him with crushing student loan debt when he graduates. Even so, I keep doubting myself as I hear about other acceptances. Glad to hear from others of like mind. [/quote]
