[quote=Anonymous]My DC is a freshman in college. I made my kid add more safeties last year and I would probably take that back if I could. People made the process seem much more fraught with uncertainty than it really was. For example, if there was a reach, I had them pick a target backup and then sometimes a safety backup for that target. Luckily, more of the safeties were essay-free so it was just the app fee. I did have them pick a rolling school and they did, but there was zero chance my kid would go there. And then a backup for a reach was another forced app, but my kid would have picked gone in a totally different direction if they didn't get that reach. I did not force any urban or small schools b/c they weren't into them. [/quote]
