Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Cornell, Rice, WashU being called safties?
hmmmm, maybe its time to reevaluate your definition of a safety.
i whole-heartedly agree.

At least for me, Berkeley and UCLA were safeties because they're very numbers-based admissions processes. If your scores and grades meet the formula, you're pretty much in. Soft factors don't matter much if at all (do you even need recs?), and you rarely hear of surprise rejections from people with the right numbers. This is different than the Ivies where even a 4.0/1600 could get you rejected from all them.
