<p>One of DD’s “safety school” was also her number two choice of the five schools to which she applied. Both safety schools were academic safeties…and financial ones. It was a very hard decision between that number two safety and the school where she is enrolled. She would not have “settled for” that number two school…it was the second from the top of her list of choices. It just so happened that it was academically and financially a safety.</p>
<p>Anyway…she didn’t “end up” choosing the second choice school. She chose a smaller college and while it was more expensive, it was a choice we fully supported.</p>
