This is why we build lists with reaches, matches, and safeties.



Of course, some people incorrectly estimate the safety of their safeties. Admissions selectivity has been increasing at many schools, even at moderately selective state schools. And affordability must be taken into account before designating a school as a safety. Also, schools which list “level of interest” as an admissions criterion should not be counted on as safeties.
