[quote=Anonymous]On safeties: We're from Virginia and everyone knows which schools are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Apply to one school that's a tier below the one your child matches, apply early if it's rolling admissions. Our oldest had an accept at VCU before Christmas. Our daughter had an accept at Mary Baldwin and Mary Washington before Christmas, with financial aid. They both still did lots of applications for lots of other schools, but by Christmas, they did at least know that they would be going to college, no matter what happened in April. We needed that for our sanity -- kids and parents. (But the safety needs to be a school they would actually attend and be happy at, not "Oh my God, if I don't get into Harvard, at least I can go to VCU.")[/quote]
