Do I have enough safety schools to fall back on?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi!! :) I'm an upcoming senior and a little bit of a procrastinator, so when I was looking at my college list, I became concerned that all my schools were too selective. If you guys could help sort these into safety, target, and reach (I'm afraid most will be reach) that will be super helpful and informative. Also if you have any recommendations for other schools for me to apply to that are on the level on safety/target please let me know too!</p>

<p>I'm going into engineering but I'm not sure which one, probably biomedical or mechanical</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.88
Weighted GPA: 5.01 (out of 6.3 scale)
SAT I (this is single score because my super score was only 10 higher)
Math: 800
Reading: 720
Writing: 710
SAT II BIO: </p>

<p>One safety is all that you need if you have a 100% chance of admission, 100% chance of affordability, and you like the school.</p>

<p>However, if your “safeties” are not 100% sure things (but are 90+% likely for admission and affordability), then you may want to have several to minimize the risk of a shutout.</p>
