<p>I have a 2210 SAT score, 4.3+ GPA, solid ecs and essays. I'm also hispanic if that counts.</p>
<p>I'm already applying to NYU and Boston U, and possibly American U.</p>
<p>I want to major in business and possibly minor in psychology. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m actually quite terrified if I don’t apply to UCs, I’m going to screw myself over in the end. I hate the west coast but I need a few schools I can rely on.</p>
<p>BU is definitely a safety for you, but maybe check out some LACs like washington and lee </p>

<p>Northeastern as well. </p>

<p>Since you seem to like the east coast cities, I’d look into GW (match) and Georgetown (reach) (in DC), Fordham in NY (safety), BC (reach) and Tufts (match) in Boston, U of Penn in Philadelphia (reach).</p>
<p>Holy Cross, Tufts.</p>
<p>State universities in your home state should provide safeties.</p>
<p>With respect to private schools, check their common data sets for admission criteria. If “level of interest” is a consideration, then the school probably does not like being used as a safety and may reject applicants who appear to be using it as a safety.</p>
<p>Of course, any safety needs to be affordable. Put “net price calculator” and/or “financial aid estimator” in each school’s web site search box.</p>
<p>^ UCB is right about affordability. NYU will cost $55K/year. Can your family afford that?</p>
<p>U Miami would be a match.</p>

<p>I ended up taking ucb’s advice and applying to some good safeties in Cali. I don’t think I’ll be applying to many safeties on the East coast anymore…just the reach schools I hope to get into. Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I’m going to assume money is not a factor. CMU has a very strong business school, BC, so many of the LACs have sold Econ and great business networks-Colgate, Bates, and or reaches, Dartmouth and Williams.</p>
