[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the idea of a safety, but if you compromise too much is a safety worth attending? It strike me that if you’re reaching for Cornell and end up at George Mason you’ve either messed up your application or were terribly unrealistic. In that scenario, I’d find something else to do for a year and reapply. [/quote] Admissions, especially when most schools are test optional, can be difficult to predict. The game is won or lost in the making of the list. There should be a variety of matches, low matches, and more than one safety. Students with high stats should not be applying only to super-reaches and one safety. There is an entire continuum in between, though sometimes students and families may have overinflated ideas of where they will be admitted and where they would deign to attend; when that happens, beware, as being shut out of all one's super-reaches is quite common.[/quote]
