[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this happening to a lot of ppl this year. [b]Primarily bc their safeties aren’t ones they would ever go to[/b]. [/quote] This is the problem. You have to spend time finding safeties you actually like. There are great programs at schools with higher acceptance rates. You have to do the research to find things to be happy with, not just look down on a school because of acceptance rate. Both my kids are at "safeties" but these were their first-choice schools. Got some kind-of-negative "why there?" questions about DDs college, a LAC with an acceptance rate in the 70% range. Kind of funny that the same people were impressed that DS was at VT. His major at VT had a >80% acceptance rate so it was even more of a safety! Both schools were good fits for them and our budget.[/quote]
