<p>I've applied to USC, tulane, duke, vandy, Umiami, and wake forest..</p>
<p>Can you guys suggest d1 sports schools that are safeties or matches (1430/1600 sat) whose apps are not due yet</p>
<p>so far I have clemson, UVA (although a reach), UGA, BC and Utexas</p>
<p>any other suggestions?</p>
<p>It seems you would prefer to avoid colder weather, save for the BC mention. How about Georgia Tech, UNC, U of Florida, Maryland, or SMU? If you are willing to go north, maybe Wisconsin or Illinois?</p>
<p>Oddly, the fact that a school had division 1 sports teams made a difference in my applications when I was applying for college. But I was being arbitrary and ruling places out simply because I didn’t like their hockey team. Why is this important for you?</p>
<p>

<p>I’ll take a wild guess and say that he or she likes to attend live college athletic events, most likely football and/or basketball.</p>
<p>I would say that this person may have misplaced aspirations of being a walk on, may hope to do an internship in sports management, may like sports medicine, or may be doing this for the same arbitrary reasons I did. I was also concerned that this individual may be placing an undue emphasis on the division of a sports team at a potential school and this may be distracting them from more important issues. Your comment is condescending and unnecessary. There are a number of legitimate reasons to want to go to a school with sports teams in division 1, I was just curious about theirs.</p>

<p>Who are we to tell someone what is important in choosing a college? The OP has applied to several excellent universities already and is obviously quite intelligent. There is no reason to question their priorities. If someone likes a big school with big-time athletics, who cares? Division III (and definitely Division II) doesn’t automatically equate to superior academics.</p>
<p>Are you already admitted at one of your schools? If you’re not, I think you could use a much safer safety. Maybe Alabama or Florida State?</p>
<p>Thanks guys…although florida app was due already
and thank you count montefisto…</p>
<p>I WOULD go to a school with d3 sports, but Im a huge college sports fan and would like to support a d1 program</p>
<p>now is that all i thought of when looking at schools- of course not…
also i dont want a really small school- and most larger schools have d1 sports anyways</p>
