[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools also will push safeties. Mine applied to too many — about five and two of the five DC did not want to attend. [/quote] Only applying to one safety is nerve wracking to parents and college counselors, so it isn’t ideal. I think 2 is ideal for a high stats kid. My DC was stubborn. DC’s school was pushing 3 safeties. My DC refused to apply to any school they would not be excited to attend. We found one safety DC liked a lot. Even going into winter break, college counselor wanted DC to add 2-3 more safeties. We found 2 that required no essays and college counselor agreed that DC would apply to these schools in January/RD if early return EAs (targets) did not yield an acceptance. DC was accepted EA to a school they are very happy with, so no more safeties. If your kid likes Pitt, apply in September and be done with safeties. [/quote]
