[quote=Anonymous]OP again, I see someone revived my thread! We are planning to visit several of the schools mentioned here over spring break. Thank you. I'm still having a tough time knowing how to identify a safety (finances aside), and our counselor so far has not been helpful, IMHO. To be specific, DC's first SAT was 2050. 4.0 unweighted GPA from a non big three private, several APs, decent ECs. Not to target Mary Washington, but their 75th percentile is 1840, more than 200 points lower than DC's score. Is that what we need for a safety, or can we feel "safe" with schools that are a bit more selective, such as Elon, where the combined 75th percentile is 1990? (These numbers may not be entirely accurate; I just got them off the web.) I would appreciate any feedback on what constitutes a true safety. Thanks![/quote]
