Please explain how this is a safety.
Stats?
My DC has great stats and we are on pins and needles waiting in ED. I ready g why yiur DC views this as a “safety” might help me relax a little.[/quote]

W&M is NOT a safety for anyone.  [b]Acceptance rate is 33.5%[/b].  That makes it at most a target for a top student

Someone high stats, has a better chance but it is still not a Safety for them.

For who? For everyone? I can see W&M is definitely a reach for you with your critical thinking ability.[/quote]

General guidelines: you don't call it a likely unless they accept at least 60%.[/quote]

Acceptance rates are generally unreliable proxies for selectivity. Look at Northeastern.[/quote]

As much as I like to pick on NEU, they are highly selective.  It's easy to be Highly selective when you have 100K+ applicants for 2K spots in Boston and another ~1.5K spots "non-boston starts"  [/quote]
