<p>I am looking for a List of Colleges that I Know I can get into and should be my safety schools
also if you dont mind, I am also looking at mid ranges colleges like 50/50 </p>

<p>University of North Carolina Chapel Hill - reach
University of Michigan- low reach
University of Washington- match
University of Maryland Baltimore- safety
UCLA- low reach
Tufts University- Reach
Indiana U- safety</p>

<p>P.S. All of these colleges have wonderful dental schools, so you could easily have a good pre-dentistry program. GOOD LUCK!!</p>

<p>The list is awesome but I was thinking more private colleges because they would maybe give me scholarships because i know it is very hard to get scholarships in public colleges if you are an international student
also could i shoot for an Ivy school ?</p>

<p>Have you thought about UPenn, it has an excellent Dental program, and you might be able to get in.Your ACT scores are high enough, but your SAT Reading scores are kinda low. Columbia might also be a possiblilty.</p>
