To the OP and others thinking there are “safety schools”…a few years ago before starting this process we lurked @ March 10. We read the results thread @ people posting their surprise about not being accepted to certain schools they thought were a “safety”. One coed school in NE comes to mind - and it is almost like they sensed or knew they were a “safety” for certain applicants and those students were not accepted. These posts actually convinced us not to waste our time (or theirs) applying to a school we were not really interested in attending. Somehow, the school does find the student at the end of the day on March 10.
