This one - she had zero safeties (in my opinion) and she put JHU was her safety.
It wasn’t - she said she was joking but how would any reader know.
But is UCD a safety? To her it was I suppose.
She was clearly a case of school (not major rank) as many are - because when they say or CC - and in CA, that’s acceptance to many but if you want a four year experience, that ain’t it.
I’m not sure what a degree in Ecology will get you vs. another school high ranked in Ecology that is attainable.
But we all think differently.
