Hi,

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately there really isn't such a thing as "safe school" selection these days. Given the competitive nature of the bschool application process, you need to select programs to apply which fit your post MBA goals as well as your other personal and professional interests. Finding schools where you can identify a connection to the program will certainly help boost your chances of success. Research is critical, and it's best to apply to a mix of programs with a few safer type choices as well as a couple of target and a couple of reach programs.

Best of luck in your research!
