Northeastern is not need blind for international students. So while your stats are overall on the high end, it could hurt your chances that you need aid. So I think it is not a safety.

A “safety” has to be a sure thing for affordability as well as for admission.

How much can you pay per year? If it’s unlikely that you will get enough FA from the school, then getting admitted w inadequate FA is pretty much the same as being rejected. Either way you can’t attend.

Northeastern has an admit rate of 28%. Any school with an admit rate that low is not a safety for anyone. Plus you’ll need aid, and are international. not a safety.
