[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know, this is partly just the anxiety of the whole process. But DD has only applied to one safety which is honestly more like a lower target, in my opinion. [b]Do I insist[/b] she apply for a few more places with a 90%+ acceptance rate? Let the natural consequences happen? I don't want to harp, and I'm pretty amenable to the schools she has chosen, just think she needs a better backup. [/quote] I was worried about this with one of my kids (also a straight-A student), and I said, "I'm only going to say this once, but please think about it: Admissions are unpredictable, so even though I think any college would be stupid to turn you down, you need to think about which places seem better to you than spending a year at home. And you should apply to a couple that meet your technical requirements, even if they don't give you that magical buzzy feeling X and Y do." Then you have to let it go, either way. [/quote]
