<p>Academic Safety: You are guaranteed admission based on your Stats. Many public Us publish this info. right on their websites for in-state admission.</p>
<p>Financial Safety: You can afford to pay for it out-of-pocket without any aid other than federally determined (FAFSA) aid.</p>
<p>Please note that an Academic Safety might not be a Financial Safety and vice versa.</p>
<p>True Safety: Meets the criteria for both an Academic and a Financial Safety, and in addition offers your major (or the first two years if it is a community college) and is a place that you would be happy to attend if all else goes wrong in the admissions process.</p>
<p>Plan B: Your plan for next year if you can’t identify a True Safety, and you aren’t admitted anywhere that you can afford.</p>
