<p>Yep, your are right, but they would no longer be safeties at that point. I am just trying to make sure that the safeties are academically good enough to get him into a PhD program after he graduates. </p>
<p>fractlmstr, Thanks and I think I agree with you 100%. </p>
<p>I am just trying to make sure I don’t end up being the dad who did not know that some colleges would never be able to get my son into a PhD program and encouraged his son to apply to them. I fee awful for getting him into a high school where I killed his chances of earning a decent Class Rank. Do you see what I mean? I guess it is the skeptic in me, or the once bitten twice shy, that needs reassurance that someone is willing to give my son a 100% valuable college education without us paying anything without some strings attached. Oklahoma, Alabama, Arizona, U of H are claiming to be full rides. So, I am wondering are there any strings attached? Is their degree recognized? Northeastern, NJIT, Drexel etc are full tuition schools. Once again, I am wondering if there is a catch?</p>
