[quote=Anonymous]First we should define whether you are looking for actual, true safeties or would be satisfied with low matches. Some posters at DCUM seem to define safety differently than I do. I say a true safety has >50% acceptance rate with the student's stats >75th percentile for the school. Harder to guess if the student has no test scores or a split between scores and GPA. For a high stats student, I would put BC as a high target/low reach, for example; a lot depends on fit (supplemental essay). What school/major? Student's stats? Do you need financial aid? To be able to offer suggestions, it would also help to know what aspects of BC and Bucknell are most appealing to the student? BC is a suburban/bordering urban mid-size Jesuit university with 10k students and D1 sports and no Greek, Bucknell a rural LAC with Greek life. There are several mid-size Jesuit (and some other Catholic) universities that could be considered safeties.[/quote]
