[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know of any students (either your own kid, or maybe the kid of a friend or neighbor) where they were accepted at highly selective schools but ended up NOT getting accepted at schools that were meant to be safeties? [b] Do safety schools ever deny a student because they know a student of that caliber is only using them as a safety, and they'd rather save acceptance for those they think will likely go there?[/b][/quote] Appears to be so. But some of these schools are making huge assumptions, maybe based on a kids’ address? , apparently thinking that we’re zillionaires who don’t need scholarships. Oh well - to keep this from happening to your child i’d make sure that the guidance counselor adequately communicates your family’s situation to the school early on in the process. Have them somehow express that the student is likely to attend the school.[/quote]
