<p>Does RI offer reciprocity agreements with other nearby states? Just wondering if you get instate tuition rates in any other state other than RI. Gadad is absolutely right, by safety we mean a real safety. State Flagship, university with lower stats than yours and considerably good acceptance rates. At least 1-2 schools in this catagory. The “target” vs. “reach” lines get fairly blurred when you are dealing with stats at this level. The term target is less meaningful because most of your schools will be reaches based on acceptance rates. So yes you can have a big list of reaches, but you have to include at least one safety.</p>
