<p>Gotta agree with Amandakayak… my S2 is in the process and just like S1, he applied to “safeties” based on the amount of merit they would give. For example, he applied to Alabama knowing that with a 34 on his ACT he would receive a full tuition scholarship offer (which he did receive). Now he can relax knowing that if his reaches don’t come through, he still has a great offer from a school with a good program of study for him.</p>
