[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Umdcp is not a safety for anyone. Acceptance rate has to be higher than 50-60% to be a safety.[/quote]

Get over yourself.  It is a safety for many kids.  You don’t get to decide what other people define as a safety for them.[/quote]

It's only a safety for kids aiming for Ivies, or equivalent. For kids a tier below Ivies, it's not a safety. DS didn't get in, and he went to Haverford. [/quote]

True, but there are many people on this site whose kids are aiming for Ivies, so it seems fine to include it in a list of safeties.[/quote]

I really liked Haverford and wished my kid would have ended up there.  He got into an Ivy equivalent but still think he would have been happier at Haverford....[/quote]

Yeah, still not sure Haverford's a safety, saying this as a parent who kid applied to Pitt as a safety (I'm fine labeling some schools at safeties for certain kids). DD's best friend applied to Wooster as a safety and ED'd at Haverford. Why didn't your kid go to Haverford?[/quote]

Haverford is in no way a safety. See the other recent thread about selectivity of SLACs. If I’m reading that right Haverford is actually more selective than even some other higher ranked schools. [/quote]
