<p>Almost all those schools should be easy-in for you. You should apply to some high match/reaches, such as UCLA, USC, UTA, etc. Narrow down the number of safeties you will be applying to in order to save money. </p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona - safety
San Jose State - safety
Cal State Long Beach - low match
U of Utah - safety
U of Oregon - safety
U of Colorado - Boulder - safety
U of Washington - match
Cal State Fullerton - safety
UT Dallas - safety
