[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - What about Miami University in Ohio as a safety? It’s ranked 103 and they have formulaic merit aid that will get your student in-state or full-tuition. [/quote]

I highly doubt that's what OP is looking for[/quote]

Why? What's wrong with Miami Ohio?[/quote]

Nothing wrong. It is just that op was looking for a top 50 school[/quote]

A top 50 school can’t be a true safety for any student who’s not famous for doing something like being a president’s grandchild.

I think it’s way better for an applicant who gets shut out of T50 schools to swallow hard and go to the University of Kansas, which is a wonderful research university in a blue town, than to spend a gap year playing Minecraft. [/quote]

Agree -- not saying they won't get in, but it's not a true safety. Find at least one school with &gt;60% acceptance rate, that isn't known for yield protection, that is strong in the field your kid wants, and where she can write a genuine &quot;Why this school?&quot; essay. That is a safety.[/quote]
