[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts, Wesleyan, Vassar, Oberlin, Rochester (in rough order of selectivity).

For OP, some of these are safeties.  
Tufts yield protects RD so it’s a low reach, but schools like Rochester oberlin Wesleyan should be safeties.  [/quote]

Keep thinking Wes is a “safety” for anyone in RD. Good luck! [/quote]

Wes is not what it once was.  Sadly.  Interest level is not very high.  If you are at a competitive private school, yes it’s a safety.  This is not 90’s anymore.[/quote]

You love to repeat this exact comment when Wes comes up. The school had a record number of applicants and one of its largest freshman classes this year so you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t agree that interest isn’t very high. I should know better than engaging with this kind of trolling, but no, even for Groton or Harvard Westlake or whatever you want to say to is a competitive private, Wes is not a safety for anyone. Not in RD. [/quote]

Our private school counselor put it firmly in the match (not safety by any stretch) category for our high performing student at a well known, extremely competitive  private high school. [/quote]

Looking at our Naviance, the acceptance rate for top 10% kids is 100% to Wes in the past five years.  [/quote]
