<p>How do we avoid this <em>alleged</em> problem? <g> For instance, one of the flagship state schools is actually my D’s first choice at this time. But in comparison of some of the other out of state school’s she’s applying to, which are truly not her first choices, it might appear as a safety, and we sincerely don’t look at it that way as it’s been a crapshoot getting into that university, even with stellar credentials. How do we minimize being looked at that way? I’d hate to think it means putting all our apples in one basket to show the love to that school because that’s obviously not an option in today’s climate.</g></p>
