  • Dance (4-5hrs/week, 35 weeks/year; 14 years, but can only mention 4 on common app)
  • Teacher’s Assistant at Religious school (2hrs/week, 30 weeks/yr; 4 years)

A safety has to be affordable. Run the costs

3

Drexel is very expensive, even after a lot of institutional aid. Is money a factor? You don’t mention what your major is. Is it nursing? Are you instate PA?

4

I think you might get good merit at Temple, Duquesne and you should also get into Pitt. If you are instate, those should be more affordable.

5

Yes, I would consider this a safety for you. (not in financial sense).
