<p>I hear you, Coureur. S’s (HS 2009) dad and I both graduated from a state school that he was “hurt” that I mentioned he should apply to as a “safety”. Truth be told, it wasn’t on our radar for him either until we saw acceptance stats this year. We can afford to send him wherever he’s accepted, so at the end of the day college is one step in the process of achieving goals.</p>
