<p>NCF admissions are compared to ivy league admissions in some respects. I don’t think it could be counted on as a safety. This also makes it sound like you aren’t especially devoted to this school. As I saw someone write in another thread, NCF wants students who want NCF. You may want to re-evaluate your reasons for applying. I don’t mean to sound so negative, just want to offer good, down-to-earth advice. Good luck.</p>
