Apologies, but I could not find any other medium through which I can do an evaluation.

As for the reasons "these people" get on here -

1. "These people" think of you guys as rockstars and helpful
2. Your opinions matter a lot to "these people"

Let me know in case you are still not clear on the reasons.

Regards,
P

What do you define as safe universities? Have you got into these universities ? Or safe to get accepted? Or safe to get a job thereafter.

Just look at acceptance levels of the universities and decide safe if that is the criteria.
