I don't understand why my profile is only compared to only one of the four schools I mentioned
A safety school is a school you will for sure get into. Schools that aren’t safety schools are target or reach schools, where your chances aren’t quite as high for acceptance. You will probably get into most of your target school schools and perhaps a reach school, but you should get into any school marked as safety because you surpass their minimum gpa, course work, etc. requirements. I hope this helps!
Your safety school on College Vine is the school in which your profile closely matches other students who go to that school. Just because a school is not a safety school does not mean you will not be accepted. I recommend you apply to your Target schools along with safety schools.
