Tier 1 — High Probability Colleges for Rank 1,000–2,200 (OS)

No colleges in the 1,000–2,200 band have a historical closing rank that makes them definitively safe for the full range under OS/AI quota. Candidates at the lower end of this band may find borderline programs accessible with a comfortable margin.
