Didn't get 1st preference, do we accept second choice but Go on waiting list? In different county?

What do we do...

Second choice is out of county...

Yes, always accept or you run the risk of not being offered at at all. Go on the waiting list for your first choice as there is often movement. If you decide there are other schools you now prefer to your second choice, get on the waiting list for those too.
