<p>Safety tends to mean a college that you are most likely getting into, not applying to so many colleges that you should end up getting into one.</p>

<p>In terms of the real definition, no, none of those are safeties. </p>

<p>But in practicality, yes, you will get into at least one of them.</p>

<p>As long as you can afford the OOS publics, you should be OK.</p>
