Do I have enough safeties/matches?

<p>Like the title, I'm wondering if I have enough safeties. It would be great if you can let me know what are my reach, match, and safety schools are. It would also be great if you suggest a few safety schools if you think I need more (those that still accept apps, obviously). I'm looking to major in business in a college that offers undergrad business or psychology. Around medium size private colleges would be best.</p>

<p>Schools applying to: Cornell (CALS), Columbia, Rice, NYU Stern, Richmond, BC, BU, Swarthmore, Villanova, Northwestern, UChicago, RPI, Haverford
Still thinking about applying to Tufts and Claremont McKenna, but would not apply if they are not considered safeties since I'm already applying to lots of schools. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
