[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no magic bullet op. Your kid didn’t pick safeties she wanted to attend. She didn’t pick targets that she could afford. No one can change that now. Either add schools with late deadlines (unlikely to be schools more appealing than her current safeties), take a gap year and do more research next year, or [b]help her come to terms with the schools she can afford, apparently Towson and Salisbury[/b]. Alternatively she can go to community college and transfer afterwards to Maryland, or another affordable state school.[/quote]I think OP is trying to gather ideas for making the safeties more appealing. But few people have any. I actually know several kids who have had great experiences at safeties, but they started out enthusiastic about the schools, usually going there to play a sport or because of a substantial scholarship that made them feel great about the school.
