<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I just discovered Kenyon College (I am class of 2012). Are they a safety school for most people? Are they very selective?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>It's not a safety for most people who go there. I guess it would depend on what your stats are before you could consider it a safety, but it's among the top 20 LAC's.</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>Oh. It probably is a safety school for me; but is it true that schools other than the Ivy League are "highly competitive"?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Of course it's true. I have a friend who didn't get into BC or Georgetown but got in to BRown.</p>

5

<p>well i have 2400 SAT and top 5% class rank, but I am an international requiring a lot of financial aid. Will Kenyon be a safety, match or reach for me?</p>

<p>Awaiting-college...please don't apply to Kenyon. You are either too lazy to check one college stats website/book or a Troll.</p>

<p>Please. Don't waste people's time with moronic questions. You know perfectly well that there are plenty of colleges other than Ivy league schools that are highly selective.</p>

<p>Kenyon has an acceptance rate of approximately 30%. It is NOT a safety school by any means. Our biggest overlaps in applications include Oberlin, Brown, Denison, Yale, and Haverford.</p>

<p>Oh be nice guys, its a kid you’re dealing with. Honestly, Awaiting - I’d say the top 5 -10 Liberal Arts colleges are AS competitive as the Ivies and a better bet for a undergraduate education. Kenyon is a great school, and these days none of the top 25 Liberal arts could really qualify as a traditional “safety.” High Scores and good grades are pre-requisites at all these places, but that’s not how they decide.</p>

<p>I ate kids for breakfast at Kenyon ;)</p>

<p>OMG, ogre! Kidding, kidding. :)</p>

<p>Kenyon’s a safety for no one, mate.</p>
