? UMDCP is a safety for most kids?  I know a few magnet kids in MCPS who didn't get in.[/quote]

Not a safety.  Anyone who lives in MD wants to go their b/c of the tuition. Highly selective just because of the number of applicants.[/quote]

Safety is relative. And, if you have really high stats, you should be good at UMD (EA of course). It was a safety for my kid last year. 4.83W, 1570 SAT, lots of honors, ECs.

But, I agree generally that UMD is not a safety school. It just might fill that slot for some kids, though.[/quote]

You might have considered UMD a safety, and it turned out OK because your child got in. My kid had similar stats this year, and got in, as we expected. But I wouldn't call it a safety school, even for our high stats kids. (And I think referring to UMD as a safety school is likely to lead astray other people whose kids may not get in, now or in the future.)[/quote]

PP here. No one is calling it a "safety school  " the question was about what safeties your kids were happy about -- for THEM. This was one for mine and a few others. In this case, safety is relative to the student,  but not one person who identified it as a safety for their kid suggested it was a "safety school " overall.  I even went so far as to say that I agree it is not a safety for most. So why try to pick a fight here? So annoying. [/quote]
