Question about threads of disappointment

Some students may have trouble finding safeties, but they are usually not the ones posting here with top end stats, parents with plenty of money to contribute, etc… The ones with trouble finding safeties would be students in rural areas not in reasonable commuting range of colleges, from low income families in states with poor in-state financial aid, and with academic stats that are not sufficient for the few automatic full ride merit scholarships that still exist. But most of the disappointment threads are not from the latter kind of student.

But then some students with top end stats apparently think that anything that could possibly be a safety is “beneath” him/her. Hence either not applying to any safeties or feeling disappointed when getting into only safeties and not wanting to attend any of them. (However, it is also the case that many post-college or parent posters who frequent the forums have strong pro-elite-college and pro-private-college tendencies, sometimes moderated only by cost limits.)
