[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send an app to ASU. Rolling school, true safety. Every year some top kids get shut out and apply there in April. It costs you $55 to take care of it now and will save you months of anxiety. [/quote]
You can get accepted but are you willing to pay $60k OOS for your safety?[/quote]

Well if not, then you need to search and find one that will admit your kid and give you merit to make it "affordable to You".  It would be dumb not to do so.

PP. Thats why posted that question. Folks can claim any number of privates or OOS publics as "safeties" but if you aren't willing to full pay, not sure you could classify as such. [/quote]

Well obviously part of the definition of a safety is 50%+ acceptance rate, your kid at/above 75%, a school your kid likes and also a school you can AFFORD.  
Those exist.  A kid with top stats can find merit at many in the 40-100 range.  Go 100-140 for even better merit.  
My 1220/3.5UW/no AP kid got merit of 70% tuition at two schools in the 100-150 range and 35% at two in the 80s.  [/quote]
