Without a major, the replies are meaingleess. My kid had a 1570 first time take it in 10th grade and perfect grades and ONLY got into safetys due to majoring in CS and being a white unhooked male. The results would be totally different in a different major.

None of those are a safety. For anyone. Read CC and you’ll see. Those are matches.

Why would I rely on CC or any forums? Most people always claim that top school admission is purely random. It’s not. We were very sure those schools were DC’s safeties and the admission results validated our understanding with all acceptances.

To clarify, it’s random only to the extent that your profile isn’t strong enough. Hope it makes sense.

Top schools do not equate to safeties. HYPSM are top schools and NOT a safety for anyone regardless of how strong a students profile is.

Weren’t we talking UVA etc as safeties?

Yes, that person thinks those schools are safeties because her DC was lucky to be admitted to all, so she's clinging to her wildly obtuse statement.
