Boulder has an 80% acceptance rate and over a 90% ED acceptance rate. Even for OOS, they accept something like 2 out of 3 applicants, and you have to figure the school gets some pretty weak applicants (potheads, ski bums and the like).

Wisco and UMD might be borderline safeties for in-staters, but not for OOS.


I bet boulders acceptance rate this year took a nosedive. It’ll be interesting to see those numbers.

Boulder seems like, "Trespassers will be admitted"

Folks trashing Boulder have no idea what they’re talking about. It’s a great school for many majors (particularly STEM and business) and great quality of life.

Did they get into Auburn? I’ve heard it’s not a safety anymore.


DP. Applications to Auburn have skyrocketed over the past few years and the acceptance rate has dropped accordingly.

Wisco is not a safety for anyone from out of state.

Well, it was for my kid, and she got in, don't know what to tell you. Naviance for our large NJ public was clear she would with her stats and she didn't sweat it.


Why even respond to that comment? Your insecurities show when you do such things.

Not to mention, it wasn’t hard to understand what OP was saying and most people got the assignment! What’s the purpose of calling out one errant word for no good reason?


There is a good reason: standards
