The 10 best 'safety schools'

When students apply to college, it's usually a safe bet to check out some schools they have a good shot of getting accepted to.

So-called "safety schools" often get a bad reputation for accepting most of their applicants, but many of the colleges are also top academic institutions.

Money Magazine highlighted some of these schools in a new list featuring the "Best Colleges That You Can Actually Get Into" — well-regarded colleges that accept at least 66% of applicants.

In compiling their ranking, Money Magazine looked at categories such as student performance, graduation rates, and the net price of a degree.
