<p>NO, you can’t say cornell!</p>

<p>no ivies, semi-ivies, quasi-ivies, UNC’s, UVA’s, UCB’s, or Umich’s.</p>

<p>what is that safety school that you absolutely love?</p>

<p>for me, it’s Pitt, for sure. I’d take Penn over any other school 8 days a week, but I’d take Pitt over Harvard, Yale (b/c of that video), MIT, or Stanford in a heartbeat. It lacks that prestige, and has class size issues for me, but i’m still in love with Pitt. Best school ever. It’s a better school than penn, though i like penn more.</p>

<p>In sum: Pitt. the ****</p>

<p>I can't say Yale? How about...UChi? Not really a safety, since I can't choose between it and Penn if I get into both. If not...I guess USC.</p>

3

<p>Im not sure if NYU fits your ... criteria. If it does, then NYU.</p>

<p>If it doesnt fit, then Lehigh.</p>

4

<p>nothing in the top 49. nothing that's a legitimate dream school for an average (by our standards, no offence to anyone) student, say 3.5, 1250, 670, 640, average EC's, decent writer, etc.</p>

<p>Lehigh yes, USC? NYU? no</p>

<p>ps: you didn't need to apply (although that may not be evidence of a great love for it, lol)</p>

<p>so, so far i'm the only one that has a safety as my #3? Penn, Cornell, Pitt</p>

5

<p>Carnegie Mellon</p>

6

<p>ok, no, CMU doesn't count unless u found a cure for cancer and have a 3.9, 2370</p>

<p>26e, I'm applying to UMiami and UConn... was gonna apply to Tulane, but would never ever ever go</p>

8

<p>there u go, those are safeties, real safeties. i think UConn looks really nice. i would consider tulane, but now i'm certain i wont go, cuz i missed the scholarship deadline, so tulane won't win my heart without a lot of cash</p>

9

<p>Mine's actually Villanova.. already accpeted EA and it's near the top of my list after Penn</p>

10

<p>Villanova, Pitt, UConn. all very underrated schools. all play good big east basketball too (go panthers!). i wonder if that's a coincidence?</p>

11

<p>BU, George Washington and Penn State were my true safeties. Emory, Tufts and UMich were my second round draft picks. I had a few Penn equivalents on the list, too.</p>

12

<p>26e, is Lehigh for me considered a safety or at least a sure bet? I hope my ignorance isn't making me look overly confident about getting into LU. Any ideas?</p>

13

<p>I have crushes on Penn State and UMaryland. Hate me if you want, but those state schools are just so darn cute.</p>

<p>American too. Its like the average kids' GTown :)</p>

14

<p>Syracuse is also a very popular safety at my school.</p>

15

<p>SU sucks. a lot. no, a lot. no, seriously. more than you could possibly imagine</p>

16

<p>Auburn University's mine. I've already gotten in with a full ride and I already get half-off tuition because my dad works there. The bad part is that I live in Auburn, but a free ride is so tempting, and plus, I heard the Honors Program is incredible.</p>

17

<p>why is living in auburn a bad thing?</p>

<p>-krabs: lehigh is kind of a safety, but idk much about it. all i know is that my econ teacher went there as a wrestler, and i genuinely dislike him (and he didn't even know it's illegal to execute minors in the US!! i mean, how?). he gave me a B. when i get back to school some heads will roll</p>

18

<p>I've lived in Auburn for the past 12 years and I would like to go to school in a different part of the country.</p>

19

<p>Although admission is as hard as the Ivy League--CUNY Honors Baruch. Top notch business program!</p>

20

<p>26e - Ha ha, y do u think SU sucks? I know kids there this year that love it. I wasn't planning to apply there tho, cuz I wanted to be closer to a big city.</p>

<p>Another one I liked alot is Lafayette. They give huge merit scholarships there, too.</p>
