<p>Just curious, but why are so many people applying to multiple safeties? If they are safeties, then shouldn’t you only need one?</p>

123

<p>@DiscipulusBonus‌ I personally have so many safeties because they all have high appeal for me, but I’m most likely going to pick the one with the largest financial aid offer. I imagine other people are in similar situations.</p>

124

<p>@exclamationdot: Aha! I should have thought of that.</p>

125

<p>My list is a whole lot of maybe, meaning it’s pretty much constantly changing, but here’s where it stands right now!</p>

<p>… can anyone suggest colleges for me? I think UW will likely be my safety for now. But I should probably find another just in case. I’d prefer suburban (but urban/rural are okay too). I want a relatively small school size. I’d prefer to be on the East Coast. Good CS program hopefully? I actually really like LACs. Hahaha, but that usually doesn’t work well with the good CS program requirement. </p>

<p>General Stats:
UW: 3.95 (13 AP classes by end of senior year)
SAT: 2280
