<p>um zenith602, do you have any clue what you are talking about? You told him to put Brown as one of his safeties. Brown had a ~10% acceptance rate last year (probably going to be 9% this year). Brown is probably harder to get into than WUStL. It is nobody’s safety.</p>
<p>I just don’t know what you are basing your numbers on asserting that in selectivity Duke=WUStL>Dartmouth>Brown. Acceptance rate-wise it should probably actually be Brown(~10%)=Dartmouth(~10%)>Duke(~20%)=WUStL(~20%)</p>
<p>That isn’t to suggest that acceptance rates are particularly good indicators of how hard a school is to get into, and I am making no comment about the quality of any of these institutions, but to say Brown is a good safety or that WUStL is harder to get into than Dartmouth is just blatantly wrong.</p>
