<p>When someone chances you for a college, what does "safety" mean? Is that good, middle of the road, or bad? Sorry for my lack of knowledge!!</p>
<p>Good, very high chance of admittance as in it’d be a complete surprise if you don’t get admitted</p>
<p>It means you’re only applying because you’re almost certain you can get in, i.e. it’s a backup school just to be “safe.”</p>
