<p>"@ChoklitRain : bro with your stas any school other than the upper-mid IVYs should be a safety "</p>

<p>unfortunately these days high grades/scores will only get you in reliably at numbers-driven publics, but thanks for the support anyway</p>

42

<p>No safeties here…applying to all reaches. If I don’t get in i’m okay with community college.</p>

43

<p>Rutgers/TCNJ</p>

<p>@iEatReeds</p>

<p>Why wouldn’t you? Nearly everyone I know, at least the top 50% gets their acceptance pretty early. A lot with full scholarship. More get in after that. I guess it depends on the competitiveness of your school.</p>

<p>Wait, what’s ChoklitRain’s redeeming quality again? His 2400 PSAT?</p>

44

<p>U Maryland
GW
Harvard</p>

45

<p>UMass Amherst and either UMass Lowell or UMass Dartmouth</p>

<p>“Wait, what’s ChoklitRain’s redeeming quality again? His 2400 PSAT?”</p>

<p>whoa, easy there. i also ran 2 miles in under 10 minutes, and have 2 generations of legacy at both penn(wharton) and princeton ;)</p>

47

<p>^i have none of that and harvard is still my safety</p>

48

<p>Wowzers. You certainly are impressive.</p>

49

<p>wow! i just read all that and was really impressed. if anyone cares, my safeties are ucsd down. i dont plan on applying to uc merced or ucsc because no way in hell i’d go there. but i’m not applying to any private safeties- complete waste of time and money.</p>

<p>btw, my school limits us to only 6 secondary school reports. so basically only 6 privates (and some publics too). does anyone else’s school do that?</p>

50

<p>^They pay for 3, and then after that we need to pay $3 for each one they send out.</p>

<p>They also discourage us from applying to more than 4 schools.</p>

51

<p>no mcdonald’s for me… BK - have it your way</p>

52

<p>A sub 10 2-mile won’t do you any good at a Div 1 school</p>

53

<p>^ yeah, but she asked for redeeming qualities. i count it as one even if a lot of track coaches don’t :)</p>

54

<p>My Safety is UAlabama…
but i might apply in state to PSU as another safety…but i hate PSU and love UA…so we’ll see</p>

55

<p>FSU and UGA</p>

56

<p>

</p>

<p>Fair enough</p>

57

<p>JMU, GMU, Boston U, V Tech…</p>

<p>People tell me I’ll easily get in, but some of those are people’s top choices…either way I’m nervous that I don’t have enough safeties.</p>

58

<p>UCSC and Cal State Northridge, are my fall back schools.</p>

59

<p>interestingly, i originally read this thread’s title as “Seniors, what are your professions?” and expected the first post to be “HAWOO! HAWOO! HAWOO!” …the f***was i thinking lol</p>

<p>…Old Dominion University.</p>
