Don't Forget to Apply to a "Safety" College

<p>Safety schools are very important. I have made a list and ensured that all of my safety schools are ones that im comfortable with.</p>

<p>Probably </p>

<p>I agree that applying to safety schools is very important!</p>

Great advice! Thanks.

I am an international student and I feel that for us, no college is actually a safety. Especially when you ask for a huge financial aid.
Can you suggest some colleges that provide a good financial aid and are not too much of a reach?

My scores and GPA are high. Plus I have very impressive ECs. SAT scores however are average around 1440 with only 640 in ERW.

@9167Isha I’m just a parent, but from everything I’ve read here on CC, safeties for an international student who requires financial aid would be a school in one’s own home country.

Thank you @curiousme2 . I will definitely apply to some universities here next year(for the classes starting in 2020). I have applied EA to a few colleges whom I don’t consider a reach for me. So if I get into one of them with good aid then I won’t have to worry about the safeties. But if I don’t then probably I will just have to trust my luck to get me into a college in the US.
I wanted suggestions to help me arrange my college list so maybe I get into one of the universitys.

You might want to create a separate thread to ask your question. I don’t know that many people will see your request for school suggestions, buried on this thread.

@curiousme2 Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that.
