<p>Your defensive tone makes me feel like I’ve offended you. If so, I’m sorrry.
By labeling BC as a possible safety, I was not trying to belittle its academic reputation. </p>
<p>I’m well aware of BC’s rank. This said, I think safety schools should be schools I’d actually go to. So, there’s no point in me applying to a school ranked 70 just because I know I could get in- I wouldn’t go. </p>
<p>Also, thank you for pointing out BC’s focus, as I’ve read multiple times in brochures. I’m already applying to Georgetown and Columbia- well known for their IR programs. So dont worry about that :)</p>
