@lookingforward I understand the math. That is why I put a statistical threshold in the question. I originally defined a safety as a school that admits 60% where the student is in the top quartile. However, I have actually not seen a rejection from a 60% school where the student is above the 25% in stats. But, of course, my experience is limited which is why I posed the question. Are there any actual real world examples of kids getting rejected under these circumstances?
