is u of i a safety school?

It's a good school, but better for some majors than others. No good scholarships and high tuition, even for in-staters. It has a pretty good greek life, but so does pretty much any other big public school.

If you come from a school that calls U of I a safety school, you must have gone to a school with some pretty large douchebags that went to Ivy's with daddy's money.

Most schools at UofI are highly regarded, although a few are not difficult to get into. I think the business school is pretty well ranked though.

I suppose if you compare UofI to a smaller school that is prestigious, smaller in size, and takes a smaller percentage of applicants, then I guess you can call us a safety school.

But you can generally get a top notch education here, and we have some very prominent alums, so we are among the best.

I say that from perhaps a unique perspective. I wanted to attend UofI since I was a kid, I had high grades and test scores, and I only applied to Illinois. So I dont really know whether everyone else would have taken me.

Not a safety school. LAS ACT 25% to 75% range is 27-33. Lowest is social work with 22-27. Networking wise, if you want to work in Illinois/Chicago, it's also great. Odds are employers have a friend or family member who went.
