<p>You are relatively safe, but not completely safe. Remember that with a 50% acceptance rate comes a 50% rejection rate. And that 50% might not always be the lowest 50%. If your stats are in the top 10%, and they expect you will end up elsewhere, you could end up in the rejected group, as has happened to many students in the past. That’s why it’s a good idea to have more than one safety, unless you have secured that acceptance early in the application season, or are guaranteed admission.</p>
