What's your safety school?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

<p>Pepperdine, Minnesota, Wisconsin and St. Olaf</p>

22

<p>My safeties are NC State University and Hood College</p>

23

<p>Good thread, when I apply, I will be looking at schools such as University of Delaware Honors(instate), Case Western Reserve, Haverford College, Drexel University, Carnegie Mellon University, Boston College, Tufts University, Georgetown University, USC … as safety/low match schools.</p>

<p>yale…</p>

25

<p>^okay Yale, USC, bc and Georgetown are safeties for no one.</p>

26

<p>^^ Nice trolling.</p>

<p>Mine will most likely be NC State and Wake Forest.</p>

27

<p>University of Missouri - Columbia (A.K.A. Mizzou)</p>

<p>Definitely a safety. Ironically, I’m actually really wanting to go here despite the party school reputation :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not someone who parties, but I like the FIGs and LLCs here and the campus+surrounding town :slight_smile: Oh and it’s a lot cheaper than Saint Louis University, my other to choice.</p>

28

<p>^^Wake Forest as a safety…</p>

29

<p>Their admittance rate is 40% and they do not require standardized test scores… so yeah.</p>

30

<p>U Wisconsin and U Minnesota.</p>

31

<p>university of az</p>

32

<p>@nate Your right, Wake Forest doesn’t really require Standardized Testing, I’ll definitely put Wake Forest as a safety. But I heard that Wake Forest is hard to get into though.</p>

33

<p>UMD-College Park</p>

34

<p>I’m thinking Rose hulman, wpi, and/or drexel.</p>

35

<p>Come on, be honest guys! CollegeConfidential is an anonymous website, bragging that a top 25 university is your safety (a completely foolish and IGNORANT comment) isn’t scoring you any points.</p>

36

<p>University of Michigan</p>

37

<p>^@crc016 YAY MARYLAND!</p>

<p>@xcalculatin I agree.</p>

38

<p>UCSB, USC, Texas A&M, uh, Rutgers.</p>

39

<p>UVA and/or William and Mary.</p>

<p>@xcalculatin: I’m in-state for UVA, my school has a 40%+ acceptance rate to the school, and the valedictorian virtually always gets in. With those odds, it’s accurate to call UVA a safety for me. There’s no guarantee I will get in, of course, but there’s also no guarantee that you will get into any of your safeties. It’s all about probability.</p>

<p>@fantasyvesperia: Wake Forest is one of those few schools that really stresses the value of EC’s. So in that regard an admitted student often has outstanding involvement in their community. If your extracurriculars are stout it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
