@Calliemomofgirls The moral of the story is do NOT apply to schools you would not be happy to attend. And make sure you understand what makes each school special and why it is the right fit for YOU. AOs want to know that you’ve chosen to apply to their school after careful consideration and are not just looking for a “safety school” or, alternatively, chasing the “prestige” of attending a school that’s famous (and may or may not be the right fit).
