Santa Clara and GWU were the safeties

Santa and GWU both care about demonstrated interest and/or have a reputation for yield management. Accordingly, they do not make great safeties, though that may depend a bit on major.

Are you saying your child did not apply to any school lower than UVA? Ballsy

He had 1600 SAT and 3.92 UW GPA and pretty good ECs.

Where did he get in?

Safety: Colorado, Ohio State (have already withdrawn)

Colorado should be a safety, and is typically a safety in-state for high stats kids, but has a tendency to kick out-of-state high stat kids to Exploratory Studies rather than directly admit to the deisred major (if business or engineering) as a sort of yield management, just over the past two admission cycles.
