Help me find good safety schools please?

<p>This is not yet my year to apply (and I'm very glad with all the stress), but I am starting to formulate a loose list for next year. Some of the match and reach schools I'm looking at are Middlebury, Smith, Williams, Brown, etc. However, clearly these are all selective schools where my chances are the same as thousands of other college hopefuls. </p>

<p>Does anyone have suggestions for low target/safety schools that would fit what I'm looking for and are good schools, while being a little bit more certain with admissions? </p>

<p>Intended majors: Double major in Political Science or Psychology and either math or Classics (depending on the school). </p>

<p>Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much!</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>Quick Stats: </p>

<p>740 CR 770 W 760 M
SAT IIs- Chemistry, U.S. History (Not yet scored)
3.9 GPA
Strong EC's that show direction.<br>
6 years of Latin (through Latin 4 + two independent study years with tutor, plus working at a Latin summer program this summer)</p>

<p>Any more advice?</p>

<p>Look at Agnes Scott or Sweet Briar if you don't mind going South.</p>

<p>well. your stats are already very impressive. You should look at possibly Boston University, Mount Holyoke College, University of Connecticut, George Washington University, College of the Holy Cross, Trinity College, Connecticut College, Ithaca College, etc.</p>

<p>Look at Bowdoin for a target/reach. Some good safeties would be </p>

<p>Connecticut College Camels
College of the Holy Cross Crusaders
Bates College Bobcats
University of Rochester Yellow Jackets</p>

<p>If you want to pursue Classics, Holy Cross is a particularly good choice and they actually offer a couple full tuition merit scholarships each year for classics majors. The 10-member full-time classics faculty is one of the largest at a liberal arts college.</p>

<p>Thanks so much everyone for all of the helpful advice. =]</p>

<p>In the midwest- St Olaf, Macalester, Grinnell. I've heard good things about Whitman in WA.</p>

<p>Thanks! I'll be checking out everyones ideas.</p>

<p>Smith is safe.</p>

<p>Really? That makes me feel better. I hope so. :)</p>

<p>Clark U. (MA)...as good as any college in the country in psych.</p>

<p>Believe it or not, I say you can use Michigan as a safety. Your creds are worthy.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>Any more advice?</p>

<p>Anyone else have thoughts?</p>

<p>Michigan is never a safety school for anyone from OOS. It definitely is a match school for you though.</p>
