Could someone take a minute and suggest me a few match/safety schools?

Applying to College
1

Hello! I am currently a senior, and as deadlines for college apps are slowly creeping up, I’m looking for suggestions to any safety or match schools that would suit me. Here are my stats:

Massachusetts, Asian, Male, attending a public school.
AP’s:

  • Physics, Calc BC (junior)
  • Stats, Physics II, Chem (senior)
  • Psych and Linear Algebra (dual enrollment)
    GPA: 4.34 weighted
    SAT: 2110 (superscored)
    ACT: 32 (35E, 35M, 27R, 32S,35W)
    EC’s (not much): NHS, varsity tennis 9-11, 300+ hrs. church volunteer, hospital summer internship, lion dancing, member of 3 clubs, teach younger kids every Sunday about their culture/religion

Here are the school’s I’m applying to so far:

Northeastern (my top school)
Tufts
Boston College
Brandeis
Boston U
Syracuse
UMass Amherst

I’m particularly interested in safety/match schools located in Massachusetts, or any states near Massachusetts that aren’t TOO secluded, have a variety majors to pick from as I am undecided (leaning towards Engineering as of now), and a decent campus (not really interested in long campuses like BU).

Thank you so much in advance!

You can afford anything right? No financial constraints? What are the criteria you are using to choose the schools you have already chosen? Does it have to be in/near a big city? Does it have to be in the NE? What a ‘long’ campus “like BU” for those of us who haven’t seen BU?

And finally, if UMassAmherst isn’t a decent safety, what other UMass campuses would be? Especially if they have honors programs for which you are eligible? That’s the obvious ‘go to’ for a safety.

Holy Cross could be a match, Clark and WPI safeties. UVM and UNH also safeties.

If you are leaning toward engineering, why Boston College, Brandeis, Holy Cross, and Clark, which do not have it (except for 3+2 programs that few actually complete by transferring)?
