<p>I know there is similar post, but i wanted to know what are some similar safety shcools (LAC or Universities)</p>
<p>one syou like</p>
<p>My safety was GW, but that's not too similar to Brown.</p>
<p>university of chicago. seriously.</p>
<p>I went to Uchicago this summer, loved it but core curriculum scares me</p>
<p>Chicago, GW, Tufts and USC were my safeties and northwestern and georgetown were my matches...got into all of them.</p>
<p>Well that's lucky, but most people can't afford to peg Tufts as their safety. Anybody apply to truly safe schools for the average Brown applicant?</p>
<p>I duno about safeties, but Haverford and Kenyon both have higher acceptance rates and are GREAT schools.</p>
<p>no offense, but if you think youre an average applicant, theres no use of applying.</p>
<p>Haverford and Grinnell were mine.</p>
<p>Wow, it's too bad because up until now I was under the impression that Brown students were generally pretty cool and were not conceited, but I guess bobbobbob has disproved that theory.</p>
<p>Honestly, if you are only on this board to bash others' credentials (which you don't even know), then that's pretty sad. I would have thought a Brown student would have something more constructive to do with his time. It's honestly a pity that you got into all of those schools. If you had been rejected from one of them then maybe it could have slapped your enormous ego down a few pegs.</p>
<p>Im not here to bash people, but if someone goes around asking for the safeties of kids who got ACCEPTED to Brown rather than just those who APPLIED to Brown, its going to be skewed, and the fact that the op doesnt realize that is why I made that remark. Also, the poster already gave his/her credentials by calling him/herself an "average applicant"...and with a 14.8% acceptance rate, the average isnt the norm here.</p>
<p>I mean its just common sense.</p>
<p>"no offense, but if you think youre an average applicant, theres no use of applying."</p>
<p>LOL whoever said this should be ignored</p>
<p>who is the average applicant? i don't even know what "average" means on this board anymore.</p>
<p>Im the OP, not KuhZoa, also he/she said average BROWN applicant, not average applicant in general, and yes I do realize the selectivity, of Brown. Also, if i was asking for safeties for people that applied to Brown I am expecting to find good and selective schools.</p>
<p>Mine was actually WUSTL and Georgetown and few canadian universities.</p>
<p>Georgetown, Tufts and Vassar</p>
<p>Schools like Georgetown, Tufts and Vassar are not safeties for anyone in my view. I have a daughter who attends Brown and that is not the only Ivy school she got into. She applied to and got into Tufts but never considered it a safety. It was a match. Her safeties were Conn College and Lehigh. A safety needs to be a sure bet. The selectivity of Tufts, for example, alone would make it not a safety. I have seen valedictorians, etc. rejected. The acceptance rate is about 28%. There are far more than 28% of applicants to the school that are very qualified and worthy of admittance. All do not get in.</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome?</p>

<p>Those were relatively the worst schools I applied to, and I considered them to be my safeties. I got into all 3 of them as well, so I think I chose my safeties pretty well.</p>
