Guide to finding a great safety

<p>one question: could American University and UGA (out of state) safely (haha) be considered safeties? I have typical CC stats (98+ avg., 2200+ SATs, decent EC’s) but would this be enough to also get some scholarship money?</p>

<p>Those schools can only be considered safeties IF you know FOR SURE that you’ll have all costs covered. If you are unsure of how all the costs will get paid for, then how can they TRULY be safeties??</p>

<p>Even if you might get some scholarship money to go to these schools, does that mean that your parents will pay for all the other costs? For instance, at American, if you were to get a $20k per year scholarship, then would your parents pay the other $30k?</p>
