[quote=Anonymous]Disagree with your counselor's definition of safety. I'd call that a low target. Schools that care a lot about demonstrated interest are categorically not safeties because they have a tendency to yield protect, i.e., defer/waitlist/deny high stats applicants who they think may not attend. So much of this is determined by data. A visit might not make a sufficient impact on the yield algorithm. A true safety will not care about demonstrated interest. Look to your in-state public universities. If the flagship is too competitive to be a safety, then look to regional public universities. Look at publics in other states if you can afford them. Example of what is NOT a safety anymore, CU Boulder out of state. In-state, yes, safety. Out of state has seen some surprising results in the past few years that can only be explained as a calculated guess that the applicant is unlikely to attend if admitted.[/quote]
