I know that your thread didn’t generate the responses that you wanted to hear, but we are genuinely concerned that you’re going to end up with no/few affordable schools. We don’t want you to end up at a safety that will annoy you or make you feel like you missed out.
What is your current school list?
Edit…Now I learn that you have me (and maybe others here) on ignore. It’s very sad that you don’t want the help that you really need.
Some messages are hard to listen to when one has a certain path in mind. We just hope that you can “grieve” your dreams in short time and be ready to come up with a realistic school list.
