[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, there isn’t a stipulated definition on DCUM of what constitutes a safety.[/quote]Yeah, this board is full of folks who describe likelies and then call them "safeties."[/quote] This. There's far from a definitive definition of "safety". [b]For people shooting for Harvard, UVA, Northwestern, W&M, Amherst or even VTech could be considered a "safety". [/b] For others, those "safeties" are first choices. [/quote] This is not true.[/quote] Not sure what you mean by that. Its not about whether its "true." Its just a fact. A kid applying wanting Harvard as a first choice, will likely have schools the caliber of the other ones listed, as their "backups/safeties." For other kids, UVA, W&M and VTech may be first choices, with schools like JMU or VCU as safeties.[/quote] DP but I think what they meant is that UVA, W&M, VTech, Northwestern, Amherst are not safeties no matter how high your stats are...because their acceptance rates are all below 30%. They are by definition not safeties for [i]anyone[/i][/quote]
