<p>It’s not a safety school if you would NOT attend. A safety school is a school to which you are highly likely to gain admittance AND a school that you would like to attend. Otherwise…it’s just “another school…that is easier to get into”.</p>
<p>Have you discussed your college finances with your parents? This is something VERY important for you to do. YOU will not be able to take out a $20,000 loan each year in your own name. You don’t have the collateral to do so. A bank will not lend you that much money because if you default…they have NOTHING to attach to lessen their losses. In addition, $80,000 for undergraduate debt is TOO MUCH…way too much (and I don’t care what profession you think you might be entering…there are no guarantees there either). </p>
<p>You really must discuss college finances with your family. How much are they willing and able to contribute annually to your schooling? Do you currently have a job…or two? How much can YOU contribute annually to your schooling?</p>
<p>And if it were me…I’d be finding a safety that is affordable, where I would gain admittance AND where I would be happy to matriculate…if that becomes the choice.</p>
<p>Are you currently a senior??</p>
