Reality sets in and application is unfinished

Every year – absolutely EVERY year in April – we see a kid here who has only applied to highly selective schools and learns, horribly, that none of those schools offered admission.



During my n years on CC, there have been only ONE, not 2, not one every year. I mean only one known case that the student did not get any admission.

On the other hand, there have been so many successful stories like emgamac’s D.

so, my feeling is that the idea that one must have safety schools are way overrated.
