For business, I think so - that it’s safe. For engineering and CS, no.
The quant major is in the B school.
But you might be right because they didn’t apply EA. That’s the distinction between a Bama and Auburn (which has formal deadlines) - so maybe a rolling like Pitt (late but still probable) or a private with RD would be better.
OP would have to look school by school but recognize they are looking for a safety so yes, the overall rank won’t be as high. I note because of the comment on OSU not being strong.
