This is exactly right. If you have two offers from colleges you like, would be happy to attend, and can afford, you have already won, no matter what happens from here on out. If something else does happen to come through, that’s just icing on the cake. Take those acceptances as a win, even if they are not “big name” schools. They are schools that want you to be there, and hopefully schools where you might want to be.
