[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do kids apply to any safety school? If all else fails, it could be the best available option. [/quote]
Top students shouldn’t use schools like Syracuse and BC as safeties. Even if they get in, there will be very few other strong students at the school, because the school actively turns such students away. They’d be better off at a state flagship where at least there will be top in-state kids. [/quote]

Please tell us more about BC having very few strong students.[/quote]
Please tell me how a strong student could possibly get into BC. Everyone in this thread says that their scores and grades disqualify them, because BC cares more about yield![/quote]
Every college cares about yield. Demonstrated interest is only one subset of how yield is scored.

The PP is correct, if BC is the top choice, apply ED. BC is never a safety, even in ED, but that's because it's acceptance rate even in ED - while relatively high in the 40s - is still too low for safety territory. Syracuse has much bigger yield concerns.[/quote]
