Apollo, I think your question is why it’s kind of hard to find smaller safety schools, though I don’t think of Beloit as being that low stats wise. Bigger schools with honors colleges or a wider range of student backgrounds are more appealing to me as safeties, but I’m not the one going to college here lol.

When my older daughter applied ED we had her financial aid package in hand within a few days of the online admission decision. I’m pretty sure that’s commonly how it’s done.

Perhaps there’s really no need to have an early safety? I remember reading that was a good thing with my older daughter but it’s not like she wouldn’t have applied to a bunch of other schools if she had been declined or deferred at the ED school. In that case, the decision wouldn’t have been made until every school was on the table.
