<p>My DS may be falling in love with his safety. It’s really showing him some love – full ride, special programs for top students. They are holding several special invitation only events for certain students in the next few weeks that he’s been invited to. (Smart marketing!)</p>
<p>Unfortunately, DS got turned down from his reaches although he had great stats. Of his three matches, he got in to one with good fin aid, got in to another with terrible fin aid and waitlisted at his favorite. So the safety school has gone from “eh” to “maybe?”.</p>
<p>In the end it will be his choice, although my preference is that he go to the match that offered good fin aid. On the other hand, in the event that the waitlist school comes through that will change the equation, yet again.</p>
<p>Another thing I’ve now learned about the college process… it’s not really over on April 1st.</p>
