[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know, this is partly just the anxiety of the whole process. But DD has only applied to one safety which is honestly more like a lower target, in my opinion. Do I insist she apply for a few more places with a 90%+ acceptance rate? Let the natural consequences happen? I don't want to harp, and I'm pretty amenable to the schools she has chosen, just think she needs a better backup. [/quote]

I insisted my older DC had an equal number
of so called safeties as matches and reaches. They even ended attending one of the safeties (despite getting into a number of reaches and matches) as it was the best overall fit.

So I would encourage many more safeties and they may even find some safeties are highly desirable.

There are quite a few good universities that have high admit rates. [/quote]

If you equate selectivity with quality, this is a huge problem.

If you evaluate schools separately from how rejective they are, the. “won’t get in anywhere” isn’t a significant problem to worry about.
