<p>@kappytom37, Whoa! Amherst as a safety school? That’s a ranked #2 for liberal arts! Tufts also only has a 21% acceptance rate. UMASS can be one but tuition will burn a hole in my wallet since it’s a public institution. Maybe any other safety schools? I’ll look into Tufts. However, I like the liberal arts colleges of Swarthmore and Haverford although they’re in Penn. </p>
