<p>I'm looking for private schools in the east coast..</p>

<p>my stats:
WEIGHTED GPA 3.8
UNWEIGHTED GPA 3.4~3.5
SAT I: 2280 superscored
SAT II: 790, 700, 780
AP's: all 4's and 5's
EC's: decent
and have about 8 awards, regional to national.</p>

<p>I'm undecided about my major,</p>

<p>My GPA is low because I've taken the hardest courses available, so I've also received a lot of B's.</p>

<p>Can anyone suggest a good safety school for me?

<p>You realize that there are hundreds of ‘east coast private universities’ right? You’re going to need to be more specific.</p>

<p>Urban or rural, big or small, frats or no, any portion of the east coast that you prefer, big time sports or not…these are a few things you could mention to help us help you.</p>

<p>Union College (NY), Clark University (MA), Boston University, Connecticut College, Villanova, Fordham, Allegheney, Muhlenburg.</p>

<p>If you’re a girl, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Simmons, and other schools…</p>

<p>I second Muhlenberg, although it may not necessarily be a safety for you, depending on how competitive your school is. Is there a specific reason why it has to be a private school, because a lot of public schools would be good safeties, and still provide a good education. Are you looking at any specific schools, whether or not they’re safeties, just for a guide of what you’re looking for? More info would definitely help.</p>

<p>well i want to be somewhere with a lot of students… so medium to large schools size wise… dont really care about greek life. i want competitive academics… im looking for private schools because i want small class sizes. and as someone mentioned above how would boston university be a safety for me? i thought BU was pretty selective.</p>

<p>I’d be really surprised if you didn’t get into Boston University. It’s Boston College that’s quite difficult to get into.</p>

<p>Fairfield University is great. If I didn’t live near it I’d apply, and it would be a safety for you.</p>
