All Reaches And No Saftey

<p>I'm not really in the mood to list my credentials, but these are a few schools that I really seem to like.
Carleton
Cornell
Lehigh
Bucknell
U Chicago
Wake Forest
Trinity
And all of these schools are either reaches or matches for me. I'm having a hard time finding schools that I really like to fall back on, so based on this list, does anyone have any suggestions?</p>

<p>northeastern? look into state schools around the area as well</p>

<p>I'm not exactly sure what type of school your looking for since your list has a bunch of different types of schools. Cornell and UChicago are large universities while Carleton, Lehigh and Bucknell have much smaller student bodies. Not that there's anything wrong with that; my own list has a bunch of different schools...and I like each school for different reasons. </p>

<p>Some safeties
Larger universities- Boston University, Penn State, Northeastern, Fordham, Hofstra
Smaller colleges- Lafayette College, Ithaca College, Quinnipiac. These schools are more preppy which is more in line with Bucknell and Lehigh. </p>

<p>and there's always your state school</p>

<p>Good luck, hope I helped :)</p>

<p>You don't give any information on your academic record or your academic and career interests, and the schools you list really don't cluster any particular way other than excluding the most selective US schools and schools with > 50% acceptance rates.</p>

<p>So shooting completely in the dark I'd suggest you look at Kenyon College, Dickinson College and Rhodes College.</p>

<p>Your state school(s).</p>

<p>Check out Beloit and Denison.</p>

<p>Well, how did you find those? They are so different, one from another that this should be easy. Use the same method to find safeties - there are dozens, perhaps scores out there very similar to the schools you listed. But you need to spend the time, more time than on your reaches and matches, to find the safety you love. If you do your homework, you won't have any problem.</p>

<p>Might want to add Colgate and Holy Cross as match schools as they are very similar to Bucknell.</p>
