Finding Safety Schools.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm having trouble finding safety schools. My GPA is 3.9 un-weighted and 4.5 weighted. I'm homeschooled and I've been taking college classes through Montgomery County Community College since I was 15, mostly full time. I plan on majoring in studio art. </p>

<p>My ACT scores are not great though. The first time I took the test I got a 23. I plan on retaking the ACT in October and I'm shooting for a 28-30, but it's not guaranteed that I will bring my score up that much. </p>

<p>Can anyone suggest some safety schools for me? I prefer an urban or suburban area, nothing rural. I also prefer liberal arts colleges, but I can make exceptions for true safeties. Please nothing on the west coast. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>For a safety to be a safety it also has to be affordable. It won’t do you any good to have acceptances without affordability. Most safeties do not give great need-based aid.</p>

<p>So, how much will your family pay each year?</p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>

<p>Are you also going to take the SAT? you should.</p>

<p>If money is a concern, then your safety may be the local state school that you can commute to.</p>
