How good enough do you have to be to think of Chicago as a "safety" school?

<p>No. Don’t. Really. Just . . . don’t do that. Any school in the top 30 (we could even stretch it to top 50, if need be) is not a safety. A high match? - yes. A safety - no.</p>

<p>There was a guy here last year who had amazing credentials. I think he’s at MIT right now, but he was flat-out rejected by UChicago (which I actually found weird, since he did seem to be a fit).</p>
