The thread I’m linking below is old…but the ideas in it are so important. Every student needs sure thing colleges that are affordable that they also like…and I suggest having two…because it’s nice to have choices. Start your college search with those sure things…and then go from there.
Thank you to the admins for reformatting this old thread so it could be shared…and read. I think it’s a must read especially for students looking only at very tippy top schools.
