[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When applying to colleges and universities, applying to at least 3 safeties is the most important. If a student accurately identifies & applies to 3 safeties, then the number of apps to other schools should not be a concern.

If up to me, I would limit students to 12 applications although 10 is also a reasonable limit.[/quote]

With high stats kids being yield protected from safeties, it doesn't seem like safeties exist anymore.[/quote]

Not all schools yield protect. If it does, it's not a safety.[/quote]

THIS.  Not sure why some here can't grasp that.[/quote]

Because there is no way their special snowflake can possibly find a "safety" school they like.  So their def of a safety is something in the 30-50 range and with a 25-40% acceptance rate...many are calling what is really a target a safety. And targets definately do yield protect, especially very high stats kids, as they think you are not going to attend. [/quote]
