[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our counselor emphasized finding safeties that DC would be excited to attend. I agree that it is important. And we did find two. DC too has their dream school, it’s a reach and they have a good chance getting in. Knowing that there are safeties where they will be happy really helps.[/quote] Not in the least helpful for OP’s painful situation. [/quote]DP You can't help the OP they dug their grave. You can help everyone that will be going through the process next year. Have a couple of safeties where your child will be happy. [/quote] This sounds good. My DD would’t have been happy at a safety after working her ass off. But still happily applied to them. Thought one school was the one EA but was deferred and waitlisted. Got into another higher ranked school across the country and never looked back. But I understand the pain for these young kids. People are so holier than thou.[/quote]
