GG - here’s some hard data - What about this poster from this year who didn’t get in with these stats. In your book he should have gotten in. It’s a Match school for the OP - not a safety. A safety is just that - a safety - no chance at being rejected. OP has a chance at being waitlisted or rejected at NU, so it is not a safety.
