<p>For me, I’m trying to make a list of colleges such that both my reaches and my safeties are places that I would love to attend. And I would love to go to NCF. The reason that I denote it as a safety is because the acceptance rate is much higher than most of the other places I’m applying to. However, it has the same caliber of challenging academics–which is what i’m looking for most in a college.</p>
<p>I’m only applying to four places as of now (Reed, Chicago, St. John’s College, and NCF) but I need a place of those where I’m -sure sure- to get in. So I’m looking at NCF as a positibility for that position. However, I’m thinking that it’s more of a semi-safety than anything else.</p>
<p>I think I’ll write them an email about this, just because I’m so on the fence about how much my oos status is going to affect my application…</p>
