Depends on your definition of a safety. A op mentioned Emerson, for example. But the acceptance rate is around 40% give or take (slightly higher for fall 2022, as low as 33% in fall 2020) and it costs north if $70k/year all in. I don’t consider that a true safety (my kid’s safety schools were 70% or better acceptance rate and affordable without aid) but YMMV. It’s an amazing school for a kid with the right interests, though!
Emerson engages heavily in tuition discounting; 70% percent of kids get merit aid & average merit scholarship is $20k/year

The trick is finding true safeties in the City of Boston rather than the burbs or Massachusetts in general

College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute & Clark University are in Worcester, a 90 minute train ride to Boston on MBTA

There’s also Brandeis and Babson. They are not safeties, but are less selective than Boston U/C, Tufts, MIT, NEU and Harvard.

Look into:
Emerson
UMass Boston
Emmanuel
Bentley
Simmons
Wesley
Also consider Merrimack & Lesley as safeties if you want to be in that area.

No community vibe there. It’s just a place to take classes

DD wanted a Boston school, we visited Tufts, Northeastern, Boston University, and she wanted to add Suffolk.
I never heard of them, so looked them up. They accept 97% of applicants, I said no, not even as a safety.

I live within walking distance of this school and I wouldn’t send my kid there.
