<p>I agree with calipharius – I don’t think ever-after was so tactless as to deserve such lambasting. Safety is only a negative term in certain context; otherwise, it’s a valid term for college applications. ever-after was neither rude nor presumptuous in her post. </p>
<p>I’ll be attending BU this fall and, while I wouldn’t have called the university a safety when I applied, I would’ve been surprised if I wasn’t accepted. I think the school is fantastic and offers incredible opportunities, but that doesn’t change the fact that admissions is kind of lax for the type of education it gives out.</p>
<p>ever-after, you should be a lock for the honors program and a decent amount of merit aid, too, provided you show the university a little attention. I’ll be entering UNI (University Professors Program); you should check it out, if you haven’t already. Depending on what you want to study for grad school, it could be a good fit. Truthfully, UNI is the only reason why I decided to choose BU over Wisconsin-Madison; they were both the same price for me, but the courses that the program offers make my knees go weak.</p>
