How to gauge safety schools?

<p>A safety school is…</p>

<p>1) a school that you like and has your major</p>

<p>2) a school that you’re certain that you’ll be accepted to</p>

<p>3) a school that you know FOR SURE that you have all costs covered through ASSURED grants/scholarships, small loans, and family funds… If you’re not sure that you can afford it , then HOW can it be a safety???</p>
