<p>I think my biggest accomplishment so far was finding a safety I loved. Arcadia University and Marlboro College are school I love to the point where I could take one of them over my other options.</p>
<p>How many of you have safeties that you love? Safeties that you would attend just as much as the other schoolson your list?</p>
<p>I do!!! I love UT-Austin and (although haven't visited) I have a strong acclimation towards American University. Probably going to one of these instead of Boston U, NYU, USC, and WUSTL.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say that my safeties are my absolute favorites, but I definitely would be happy to attend them (Clark U., Lewis and Clark, Marlboro, and New College of Flordia).</p>
<p>I ADORE my safeties, Furman, Scripps, and the University of San Diego. I'd be completely thrilled to attend any of them.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind my safeties, but wouldn't be excited to attend either. --> University of Toronto, Queen's, maybe McGill...</p>
<p>Wow, that's great. I had a hard time finding match schools that I was that excited about. Congratulations; that makes the process so much easier!</p>
<p>I have two safeties: Northern Arizona University which is just okay and Miami University (OH) that I absolutely love. I've always kind of known I would apply there since I used to live down the road and I'm a triple legacy. But I don't love it quite as much as some of my reaches and matches.</p>
<p>Me me me me me. :D I'm insanely overqualified for the school, but I absolutely and totally adore Wells. I'm so excited about visiting this fall! I also really love UConn, where I'm already accepted. Because I have that acceptance in the bag, I'm aiming really high with my other applications, because I figure it can't hurt me and I have nothing to lose. :)</p>
<p>Other possible safeties are Drew and Douglass College at Rutgers (if</a> it lives), and I really do like everything I've heard about them. I haven't visited either yet, but I'm heading down in spring.</p>
<p>For people looking at NCF: Is it possible to consider them a safety if you're out-of-state? I've only just begun looking at them, especially since I want to stay in New England/NYC/Jersey, but I love their Med/Ren Studies program and everything I've heard about them. Should I keep them on my list of possibles?</p>
<p>I can't find safeties that I love, when there are matches and reaches that I love more... :-(</p>
<p>But at least i've found some that I wouldn't mind going to... :-)</p>
<p>Seeing as I usually get my advice from you, maybe I'm not the best person to be answering this. However, there seems to be a fairly large number of out-of-state students (can't come up with an exact percentage right now becauce either the site is down or Mozilla is just being stupid) and a general admit rate of around 61%. That basically boils down to someone like you being ridiculously overqualified. I agree that I really have loved everything I've heard about the school, expect about the food. Also, I'm not thrilled with the location either. I know, I know, I'm the one person who doesn't want to go to school in "nice" weather, but I love the snow and hate humidity.</p>
<p>Why thank you! <em>primp</em> What's your PR screen name, if I can ask?</p>
<p>College Board says they're 81% in-state and accept 53% of freshman applicants and 43% of transfers. I just can't figure out if they're 81% in-state because they don't like taking out-of-staters, or they simply don't get many applying.</p>
<p>Hmmm, I must still have last year's figures written down. I'm guessing that not not many people have heard of it up north, thus the small percentage of out-of-staters. Really, it's a lot like Hampshire or Bennington or Marlboro, and many Northerners haven't even heard of those. And I guess 19% isn't super small, at least not compared to more well known public schools like UNC or even UIUC. And my screen name is the same on PR that it is here. I tend to recycle screen names and passwords a lot because I mix them up otherwise.</p>
<p>:-0 DOUGLASS?!?!?!?!?! Woah, that's basically my first choice (well, at Rutgers, that is)! :(</p>
<p>I love my safeties. UHart, WPUNJ, and BloomU. I would love to attend any of the three.</p>
<p>Mine are UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, and American. All are absolutely wonderful. I love them.</p>
<p>pitt seems awesome (and i may very well go there, even if i get into all of my reaches)</p>
<p>I'll be attending the school that I considered my safety, the University of Virginia. It should work out ;0 .</p>
<p>sweetsaz79, I hope you're fighting to keep Douglass alive, then!</p>
<p>UHart's a great school. Nice pick.</p>
<p>I love my safety!! I would be so happy at UT-Austin, and if that is where i end up I will be perfectly okay. I'm so glad I already know that I will be accepted. I know lots of TX kids hate the 10% rule but it works for me.</p>
<p>I know a lot of OOS students that hate the 10% rule...</p>
<p>Like me :-(</p>
