Really? I’ve always heard that target is 30-60%, safety is >60%.
DC chose sub 15% schools as safeties. CCO smashed it down—must be over 20%.
No, only the bottom few go to 60% at our school. So no.
What school? My DC goes to a top private in NYC and we were told 60%+ for safeties.

This.
Our safeties were Vermont, Pitt (rolling), CU-Boulder. You can add U-Mass Amherst if you want Northeast.

Is this a girl or a boy? Suggestions vary quite a bit.

Tulane was not a safety for girls with a 3.7 UW at Big3 schools this year. I know at least 4 who never got in (currently waitlisted or rejected) with GPAs 3.7-3.8.

Is that a weighted or unweighted gpa? Test scores? What decile or quartile are they (I realize most privates don’t rank, but the school should be able to give you a sense)? Subjects of interest?

it's a good school with loads of kids going to HYPSM.
and there's a chance the gpa will be 3.8 at the time of app.
so we know the reaches (not HYP, I know that much).
wondering what safeties you had on your list. we'd like maybe 3? mostly small or medium sized privates, east coast preferred
