<p>I applied ED to Brown, and I’m thinking about Hamilton and Swarthmore as safties. Anyone have any other suggestions?</p>

2

<p>i wouldn’t consider Swarthmore a safety for the vast majority of people, it has a relatively low acceptance rate. There are people who have gotten into Brown but not Swarthmore.</p>

3

<p>I wouldn’t consider Hamilton a safety for the vast majority of people either…especially those who can’t spell “safeties” right</p>

4

<p>yeah, i don’t know as much about Hamilton but from what I’ve heard it’s very selective too.
maybe the OP meant school they’re applying to if they don’t get into Brown?</p>

5

<p>It’s “safety” or “safeties”</p>

6

<p>Lol. Give the guy a break. In short, no, you can not consider Swarthmore a safety.</p>

7

<p>hahaha NJ</p>

<p>And Swarthmore’s def not a safety, bjvise.</p>

9

<p>why? hehe, you asked for it.</p>

10

<p>University of Rochester would be a true safety for someone with a decent shot at Brown & has a similar open curriculum.</p>

<p>There are many many LAC’s that are less selective than Brown.</p>

11

<p>I wouldn’t choose Swarthmore if I were you–really leftist.
