<p>An0nym0u5, it would be incredibly foolish for any applicant to apply to no schools other than Ivies.</p>
<p>youve gotta be pretty damn confident to think of cornell as a safety. cornell engineering probably shouldnt be included in that assessment. everyone should have a state school in there as a "financial" safety, unless you're really rich, and will be even if something happens to your parents' jobs.</p>

<p>^^dont think you'd need to worry about whether you'd get into cornell, for instance. (I'll define "safety" as having over a 95% chance.) someone give me an example of somebody being rejected from cornell with stats like that, and ill concede.</p>
<p>I don't understand why people are saying WUST, Emory, and Tufts are safeties. That's wack.</p>
<p>we're talking safety for top applicants. like really top-notch.</p>

<p>I agree, though, that any school can be a safety for an extremely small pool of applicants, such as children of presidents etc.</p>
<p><em>shocked</em>
altsuperhero and juniorgirl do surprise me. Ishan probably had some fatal flaw in his application.</p>
<p><em>shrugs</em>
i concede.</p>
