If you apply to all those schools, better make sure you are really paying attention to your safeties. Many kids have been rejected from their safeties because it was abundantly clear to the safety that the kid did not give a hoot about them. Do interviews, take thought when writing the essays. It’s a fatal mistake to spend all your time and attention on the applications to your reaches – which are, by definition, a long shot – and act as though your safeties are bound to fall all over themselves as soon as they get a whiff of your grades and test scores.
