I’m a little baffled by #'s 3 & 5. Isn’t “safety” a term relative to the person-in-question’s application? There are some folks who would consider Duke and Penn safeties, there are some who would consider UCLA a safety, and there’s some who don’t get safeties until they’re looking at schools with 100% admissions rate.

It’s not some kind of absolute term, and it certainly isn’t some kind of quantifiable insult.
