What should I consider a "safety"?

<p>mom2collegekids: At this point, I would like to double major in film STUDIES (not production) and creative writing, or film studies and english. However, I want to go to a school where all of the academic offerings are strong and where I have a diversity of options, because my intended majors may change, and I have a broad range of interests. For that reason, USC’s film school does not particularly interest me, as well as the fact that USC is a bigger school than I would like. </p>

<p>Zephyr15: Can I apply to other colleges EA if I am applying to a college with a binding ED option? I’m planning on applying to Brown ED, but if I did so do you know if I could still apply to other schools with non-restrictive EA?</p>
