<p>^^ I think people posted Columbia as their SECOND choice/hopeful.</p>

<p>:) with that said - CU is also my 2nd. </p>

<p>safety will be the state uni.</p>

See? This is great (for me at least)
Now I know that my safeties are not that competitve among CCers, save for Columbia.
Needless to ask what major, as good school have almost everything!</p>

<p>Keep going! I like this thread.

<p>Pft, I knew he said it somewhere ;)</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm pretty much going for all reach schools. Probably not the best choice of action, but how many safeties does a person really need?</p>

23

<p>Forget this junk, I'm all in, win or bust.</p>

24

<p>There really are not any good schools around me (minus Ohio State, which is 3 hours away, but not my type from what I have seen).</p>

<p>Anyways... I've applied to Brown, Duke, Georgetown, Virginia, Stanford, and Marshall.</p>

25

<p>My second choice is, you guessed it..... COLUMBIA! (and i thought I was original)</p>

<p>my safeties are nyu, ucla, usc, and PENN* (oh no! arrogance!!!! RAWR!!!!)</p>

<p>*yes, the ivy league school, not penn state.</p>

26

<p>rutgers and duke (more of a target than a safety)</p>

27

<p>georgetown, amherst college, and cornell are my backups...</p>

<p>the Columbia thing is hilarious though- and it really is a backup for me (not to be diminutive to columbia or columbia hopefuls, but my school usually sends between 10 and 15 girls to columbia every year from a graduating class of 50.) Anyway- i am not applying. i want to get out of nyc.</p>

28

<p>UChicago I think is a match. But Occidental College and Tufts are my safety... apparently.</p>

29

<p>Washington University and University of Illinois.</p>

30

<p>you guys have some interesting "safeties."</p>

31

<p>I'm seriously wondering if some of you guys know the meaning of a "safety" school :P</p>

32

<p>I don't want to post my safety in case that school checks and rejects me based on that. </p>

<p>That would suck. ><</p>

33

<p>what where ur stats idk if i shud apply there</p>

34

<p>My second choice is Penn. After that, there's a big clump of schools which I love equally that includes (in no particular order) Tufts, Columbia, Emory, Georgetown, WashU, BC, and GW.</p>

<p>My backups are UConn and Pitt (already in w/ full tuition, so I guess it's definitely a backup now. hah).</p>

35

<p>Seriously, it says something about the people on CC when you see people posting Columbia and UPenn as their safeties. If you guys can really consider those types of schools safeties, I just hope Yale takes pity on me when they compare my application to yours :P</p>

<p>Anyway, I consider most of my schools "reach." I've got a pretty good chance of getting accepted to a lot of them, but I'm not confident enough to think I'll definitely get in.</p>

<p>Yale, Cornell, UPenn, Boston College, Tufts, Vassar, SUNY Binghamton. </p>

<p>I'm also sending applications to schools that said they'd waive my application fee (because I'm cheap :) ).</p>

36

<p>McGill and University of British Columbia.</p>

<p>sawry :(</p>

<p>I'm just REALLY hooked as a Penn applicant. My chances for other schools = 0.</p>

38

<p>I think Alyaa is another me.</p>

39

<p>Ha, no problem, eating food ;). </p>

<p>I didn't mean it in a bad way, anyway. People here are just too smart for their own good!</p>

<p>Psh, Yale IS my safety.</p>
