Have you been shocked to find out a school is no longer a safety?

I’d agree with CSU Long Beach. I grew up in SCal and no one went to LB unless they HAD to, This year, I had 3 friends whose kids were rejected at CSU LB. What I’m amazed at is that at least 2 of my son’s friends didn’t get into ANY of the schools they applied to. My husband and I said to each other “where are the parents? How did they make them apply to safeties?” Maybe the parents thought they DID have safeties
