[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a safety school. I got straights As and graduated with honors. I got my pick of graduate schools and was fully funded. Your son can have a fabulous time in college and learn. Admittance to a safety to ends with a degree if you want it to![/quote]

Do you remember how long it took you to get over feeling back about just getting into your safety? Asking for a "friend"  :lol: [/quote]

I meant feeling bad, not "back." There is just a lot of disappointment and such over here and no amount of, "it'll be fine, you'll see" helps. So wondering in the real world, how long does it really take to start feeling not just okay, but happy with the ultimate decision.[/quote]

IMO, the term safety school is horrible.  Your child needs to apply to colleges that he/she would be happy with.  These kids are being set up for disappointment.[/quote]

Agree, HORRIBLE. It should be based on an algorithm. If you pick schools from this category, you're 15% of getting in; this category you're 30%; this category you're 60% and so on. Get rid of labels altogether.[/quote]
