[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD decided to apply to only target or safety schools. She picked 7 she feels good attending - any of them - and submitted already. I proofread her essay and a couple supplementals. That’s it. I felt she had a logical and responsible way of handling a process that can be absolutely stressful. Fingers crossed for good results. With 7 reasonable schools, I’m confident something will work out.[/quote] She should shoot for the stars for at least one. All targets and safeties sounds like afraid of rejection. Best advice I ever got (And it has paid off): you don't get what you don't ask for. [/quote] Eh… she doesn’t see it that way, and neither do I. I promise you it isn’t a fear of rejection. It’s that she knows what she wants. Not everybody is “top school” driven. Students can be shooting for the stars. They just may not be the same stars as somebody else.[/quote]
