<p>Say I apply to Northeastern as a safety school. I've heard that nearly 100% of national merit scholars get a full ride. Should I apply to any other schools as a safety school? Would I realistically have a 100% chance of admission with a 2300 SAT and 3.85 GPA with excellent ECs?</p>
<p>You will not. I suggest never making a university with an acceptance rate below 30% a safety school. You should have two other safety schools. </p>
