Help finding a safety school?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I have two safeties set already, but they're both in-state and relatively close to home (I live in Colorado, and the safeties are currently U of Northern Colorado and Colorado Mesa U). If it comes down to choosing a safety, though, I would like to have a choice that's out of state, preferably near or in a major city.</p>

<p>ACT: 32
GPA: about a 3.8 unweighted
EC: extensively involved in theatre and music</p>

<p>I don't have a major chosen yet, but I'm thinking about English or Theatre Tech. It's very important to me that a school has instrumental ensembles and a decent theatre program.</p>

<p>It also has to have good financial aid; my family's low income, and with my current two safeties I'm looking at a possible full ride on merit.</p>

<p>Any suggestions are appreciated!</p>

<p>Go to the Financial Aid forum and look at the pinned threads at the top. Check out Alabama. I’m not sure about theater…</p>

<p>What about Boulder? It’s a good school in Colorado and you’re a shoo-in instate.</p>

<p>@MegaMetalHead‌ I’m actually putting Boulder (and CSU) with my match schools, mostly because I’m not likely to be getting a ton of aid there.</p>

<p>Probably will be private, as OOS schools will unlikely give you a full ride especially schools in big cities with large application poll.
I will say check out Macalester, Colorado College, Holy Cross, Trinity (CT), Trinity (TX)…etc. They are matches though, I would not call any of them safeties.
Best of luck to you.</p>
