<p>^ Consider Grinnell College. According to a 2005 report by the Grinnell Office of Admissions (<a href=“http://web.grinnell.edu/dean/Reports/05-06/ReportOnAdmission2005.pdf[/url]”>http://web.grinnell.edu/dean/Reports/05-06/ReportOnAdmission2005.pdf</a>), of 442 applicants for the class of 2005 with SAT CR scores of 750-800, 129 were rejected, or more than 1 in 4. Of 387 applicants with SAT M scores of 750-800, 149 were rejected (almost 40%).</p>
<p>Does that make Grinnell a reach for the OP? Probably not. So is it a safety? I don’t think so. Very high stats alone do not assure admission to such a school; they certainly don’t guarantee you’ll be able to afford the high cost. They do seem to make admission likely.</p>
