[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, there isn’t a stipulated definition on DCUM of what constitutes a safety.[/quote] There is a generally accepted definition in the college admission world: Acceptance rate of 50-60%+ and your kid has stats at or above the 75% for SAT and GPA. So no, no kid can use CWRU as a safety school even with 1600/4.0/15+ APs and a stellar EC list. Because it's acceptance rate is ~30%. So it's at best a Target school for high stats kids. Whereas, Applying to MSU (Michigan state) can be a Safety because their general admission rate is 83%. But it might not be a safety if you are applying for a direct admit program with lower rates [/quote]
