[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t a universal question.  You have to pay attention to the data from your specific school.  My kid was told W&M and BC were safeties.  These are not traditionally safeties (and amazing schools) but kids with similar stats had never been denied, even in non-binding admit situations. Most of this board will argue with this though.  And kid was applying to UMD and others too in case.[/quote]

Really interested in this too. Can you share stats, in state or OOS and when this was?

Kid is at OOS private.  Would be considered close to top of class (pretty sure but no class rank) with most rigorous (highest level math, history, foreign language) and fair number of activities.  1580 SAT.  I am not sure these safeties would be applicable in other situations - and college office also encouraged kid to apply to 2 additional safeties (and acknowledged BC was getting harder to predict). Kid was accepted REA so won’t submit and/or will pull applications so the theory won’t be tested.

My point for posting this is not to suggest particular schools as safeties but to remind folks that an applicant should look at their specific school data for guidance.  I am sure at other schools there would be choices considered safeties that would not be considered as such at my kid’s school.  [/quote]
