[quote=Anonymous]Focus on the "happy" component, regardless of the stats (as 8:18 said). I was a very strong student and went to a safety (Beloit) and it was a terrific experience. My "alternative" school was Swarthmore and I'm so glad I chose Beloit. I got a ton of merit aid and graduated with 8K in student loans, total (this was in 2006). Anyway, my point is that if you're a strong student, many schools can be safeties and some students might even end up accepting a safety over a reach, so don't just try to maximize the "caliber" of your safety from a stats perspective -- don't think "oh, what's the "best" safety I can apply to", think "what's a school I really like that should be easy for me to get into."
