[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone name a handful of “likely/safeties” that very good stats kids would really like (looking at kids who would not seriously be considered at a top 25 school - so 4.0ish). For example, South Carolina seemed like a “favorite safety” from DS’s school last year (but I do not know what their stats). [/quote] You would look at public colleges excluding the public ivies, geographic preference of your kid (East Coast, South, Midwest), taking into account in-state vs OOS acceptance rates and any OOS caps, the competitiveness of the major, and college experience (i.e. if they want a big football school, greek life etc. and financial affordability. Popular ones from this area are Delaware, Pitt, Wisconsin, South Carolina and maybe JMU or VT depending on major and state residency.[/quote]
