Are my safeties actually safeties? And how much of a reach are my reach schools?

since you are going for CS you should probably consider each school to be a little more selective that the general numbers they publish.

Do you think that’s the case for LACs (eg Wellesley or Mt Holyoke) and smaller universities to which applications are not submitted to a particular major (eg to Arts&Sciences at Brandeis or Tufts)?
