[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A safety was a known safety once the "admit" decision was received. Several had rolling notification (public u's, not too selective). Once DD and DS had a couple of these acceptances - Oct & Nov, they moved on to applications to match, and reach schools. If you can find a good public school choice, in or out of state with rolling notification, it works very well as a safety - as long as that's the type of school being considered.[/quote] There are lots of decent schools, many of them public, that offer early admissions without too much in the way of required essays beyond the Common App, and which will give you an answer by October or November. Be sure to apply early admissions not early decision, because ED locks you in for that school. I highly recommend doing this, because it gave DC a lot of comfort ("some schools like me!") before the ED results from a tougher college arrived in December. [/quote]
