<p>Why would a person be rejected from a safety school? If the grades/SAT/recs/EC’s/essays all fall far within range, how can they reject you? …especially if you show interest.</p>
<p>My S is a senior. He is applying to 5 “safeties”, 4 “realistic reaches”, but no true reaches yet. Although from the sounds of it, everything might be a reach. I did tell my son to throw a few apps into real reaches…you never know.</p>
