[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought of it in relative terms---one person's safety may be another person's reach. Given the numbers of OP's dd, i think many of the schools people are saying aren't safeties would be considered a safety for OP (e.g, Kenyon, Muhlenberg, Denison, Lafayette, Case Western, etc.) [/quote] They may be matches, and some may be low matches, but safeties they are not. Comparing the student's stats to the published stats is important, but isn't nearly enough to determine a safety. One must also consider acceptance rates. For example, without considering acceptance rates, one could argue that Stanford is a safety for a very high stats kid, when obviously that would be an incorrect determination. I'll add to the post above that a safety should be a school the student wouldn't mind attending. (That part can get tricky.)[/quote]
