<p>Ok... I pretty much know what schools I am going to apply too..... but I need some safeties!! All my schools are reaches......I really need some safeties. I live in Arizona....but I really want to go out of state. So I'll give you my stats and hopefully you can give me some suggestions.... BTW I don't want a HUGE school.... and if all possible I want to be near the ocean</p>

<p>Umm here are my stats so you can get an idea of what a safety would be for me (Not ASU) okk

<p>Pepperdine in Malibu, CA. you can see the ocean from the campus, particularly the cafeteria. The side facing the ocean is glass. </p>

<p>It's very nice there.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.pepperdine.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.pepperdine.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>University of San Francisco</p>

<p>University of Puget Sound</p>

<p>Seattle University </p>

<p>UC Santa Barbara</p>

<p>Humboldt State University</p>

<p>I might think of some more...</p>

<p>Pepperdine as a safety?... I am already applying there but as a big reach
Im applying to
Reaches/dream
Notre Dame
Southern Cali</p>

<p>Others/reaches
USD
UC santa barbara
santa clara
southern methodist
loyola marymount

<p>I can list some more schools in California</p>

<p>St Mary's College of California
Notre Dame de Namur
UC Riverside
Dominican University
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo </p>

<p>And you might want to look into the Claremont Colleges. They are a slight reach for you. </p>

<p>Pitzer
Harvey Mudd
Scripps
Pomona
Claremont McKenna College</p>

12

<p>Cut out Harvey Mudd. Unless you are pretty obsessed with math/science, I don't recommend it.</p>

13

<p>maybe ucla</p>

<p>or try to get stanford to recruit you, if you are really good at sports</p>

14

<p>Im Not D1 material........but thanks for the suggestions
Are the claremont colleges the ones with like 4 univeristies but are all on the same campus???</p>

<p>Any more thoughts/ suggestions</p>

15

<p>Yeah, they are. I actually just got back from visiting them. My favorite campus was Scripps. My least favorite was Pitzer. </p>

<p>The claremont colleges are Scripps, Pitzer, Calremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd, and Pomona College.</p>

16

<p>chillin til 08:</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

17

<p>Mudd and Pomona are more than "slight" reaches...</p>

<p>Pitzer is more in your range</p>

18

<p>University of the Pacific</p>

19
