I would suggest applying to UM Morris as a safety, if it is affordable according to the [net price calculator](http://www.morris.umn.edu/financialaid/netpricecalculator/).

Private schools are hard to use as safeties, because many of them consider “level of interest” in their admissions criteria (see the school’s common data set, section C7); they may reject high stats applicants who appear to be using them as safeties in order to keep their yield rates high. Public schools, including UM Morris, generally don’t care about that and don’t consider “level of interest”.
