Reality sets in and application is unfinished

kid applies to all top schools and then Average State Flagship, and has “an acceptance” in hand (the state flagship) but it isn’t one that he’s happy with or wants to go to



The GCs at our HS encourage six applications: two reaches, two matches, two safeties, to prevent this - but I have seen this happen often with kids from two nearby (and very good!) high schools. In the end, they end up happy at our state flagship, which is a great school, but still, it really is nicer if the student has acceptanceS to choose from.
