Why not apply to only safeties?

@Mom2aphysicsgeek wow - this is exactly where I am right now. I was ‘high-statted’ enough to potentially get into good need-only schools, but opted to apply only to schools with good merit instead. I’ve already had to reject great offers on the basis of financial mismatch. Alabama’s flying me out later this month for the CBH interview weekend, so I’m hoping for the best on that front!
