<p>Hey Guys, I am applying ED I to Vassar, ED II to Wesleyan if Vassar doesn't work out.
Can anyone recommend some Safeties that are similar to Vassar/Wesleyan?
I have Skidmore as a match/safety, but not sure what other LAC's i should apply too, and def. not Sarah Lawrence.
So any good safeties that are similar to Vassar/Wesleyan? Basically anywhere in the world other than middle america, just east/west coast.</p>

<p>For a school to be a safety, then you HAVE to know FOR SURE that you have ALL COSTS covered thru ASSURED grants/scholarships and/or family funds.</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay?</p>

<p>What do you like about Vassar, etc?</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>What is your home state?</p>

<p>In addition to the cost considerations, you need to also be assured of admission. Small private schools often do not like being used as safeties – if “level of applicant’s interest” is a criterion for admission (see section C7 of the school’s common data set), then it should not be considered a safety.</p>
