[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between a backup and a safety. Schools with acceptance rates below 50% aren't true safeties. Schools that yield protect aren't true safeties. Have a range of backups and some true safeties.

Schools like Tufts and BU are reaches for all due to low acceptance rates. Referring to them as safeties is a misunderstanding of what "safety" means in college admissions.[/quote]

so true.
I like the poster's idea who suggested aiming for an early accept to Pitt and if denied, dig in to actual safeties. 
For some kids, I like Fairfield, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart as potential safeties (money being poured into SHU lately, will be an interesting one to watch, and Fairfield just built a beautiful new arena).
Colgate, Wake Forest, etc etc that were listed by PP - not safeties for anyone.  Very interesting that Bucknell has low yield and is ok with that.
VA Tech not a safety.
I'm not in the DC area but I even wonder about JMU for a high stats kid - isn't the risk of yield protection high, given how application rates have spiked?[/quote]
