@arkham Brooklyn College and Montclair are definitely not safeties. None of the auditioned programs are as they get a lot of candidates. Brooklyn college definitely prefers local area students though (both academically and BFA, two separate acceptances), they only have about 20 spots or so (per conversation with the new dept head earlier this year). Montclair is easy to get in academically but hard for BFA (again few spots, many candidates).
LIU Brooklyn’s program is brand new this year, D was accepted, so cannot say how it will shape up competitively in the coming years.
Good luck!
