Since safeties often don’t give much aid and some don’t give much merit

This statement makes no sense. “Safeties” can’t be defined by who does and doesn’t give FA and merit aid. They can only be defined in terms of an individual student’s stats. A safety is a school where the student is at least in the top 25% of the applicant pool (and a school that accepts at least 35 - 40% or more of their applicants).

In fact if a school is truly a safety for a particular student, they are MORE likely to offer that student merit aid, because that student is by definition one of their most qualified applicants.
