[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure you have a few actual safeties like VCU, CNU, etc. Be aware many schools that were safeties a few years ago are not anymore. [/quote]

Please, please, please make sure the safeties for your kid are places they actually want to go.  Seems like folks treat safeties kind of like public school...if you don't get into target A, well then you are just going to have to go to the local public college.

Maybe they love VCU or CNU...that's great...problem solved.  However, seems like there are lots of kids and parents that put zero thought into their safeties, and then they are completely unsatisfied with their college acceptances.[/quote]

It's not a true safety if your kid does not actually want to attend.  You can either put in the effort during junior year/summer before senior year to find those true safeties or you can be stressed and disappointed come April senior year.  But it is not that hard to find safeties your kid will like.  Just open your mind, ignore the rankings and really look at the schools and the honors programs at these schools (your kid will likely get into them if they have the stats for T25 schools).
