[quote=Anonymous]As other posters are saying, rather than thinking of safeties think of timing--find a school like Pitt that has rolling admissions or others that have EA and get a sure admittance under your belt (or a recalibration of the landscape if you are rejected/deferred). With that admittance, you don't have to choose a 'true safety' which many think of as an acceptance rate of over 50% and stats over 75%ile and your job becomes easier. Your next decision is whether you want to have an ED strategy which is really important if you want to target a certain level of selectivity. At selective schools the most telling information is whether you have chosen to go ED or not. Those stats would be high enough to say Dream school 1 ED1, Dream school 2 ED2. If none of that pans out, you apply to all the schools that you like more than your early action/rolling admissions acceptance in hand.[/quote]
