@Calliemomofgirls I really think you are overthinking this. IME, schools do not reject candidates they love just because they think you may view them as safety or are aiming higher. If they are really worried about their yield and think you are unlikely to come, they will most likely waitlist you. If you do not get your top choice and call or email and let them know that you will come if offered a spot odds are quite high you would get an offer from the waitlist. But if they really want you they may also just send out acceptance regardless.
