Congrats! Lots of excellent choices. Only possible lingering doubt with no rejections becomes “did we shoot high enough?”  We were actually kinda relieved when our son got a reach rejection. Made us feel we’d targeted his schools properly. (Way better than the opposite problem of course.)[/quote]

Not the poster that you responded to, but we are in this boat with our son. He was in a funk when we started the process and didn't have strong feelings about schools. He also thought he would be fine staying in-state (which of course is better financially). He picked schools that seemed to be appropriate based on Naviance but we didn't push him. With two applications still outstanding, he has gotten into every school he applied to with decent merit money. We too were wondering if we should have encouraged him to have more reaches. Still, the Freshman Connection and Letters and Sciences major at Maryland is akin to a rejection. It is twisted, but like you, a part of me wants at least one of the remaining schools to be a rejection just to assure us that the targets were appropriate. [/quote]

I don’t see FC as a rejection at all. Lots of smart kids start that way. My D got L&S Scholars program.[/quote]
