Help selecting safeties and matches

<p>Hello, I am currently a rising senior at a public school on Long Island(It's nothing special, we have a banner signifying that it's a national school of excellence, but I honestly think it means little to nothing at all).</p>

<p>My Stats: GPA: 92 UW, 95 W(this is the scale we use, it's out of 100, not sure of an exact conversion chart, I believe it is also currently higher than listed, due to staying with a 92 UW GPA while also taking more weighted courses)</p>

<p>Class Rank: Top 7%(Mainly due to lack of APs before Junior year, will have taken 5/10 APs at my school after Senior year, along with all honors courses)</p>

<p>SATs: Superscored: CR-680 M-720 W-660 (2060, sorry it's not your typical CC score, but in terms of my H.S., it's 2nd as far as I know, though it may be a few slots lower, I'd say at worst it's a top 5 score)</p>

<p>Subject Tests: Literature: 680
Math 1- 690
US History- 650(overall, consistent with my SAT 1 scores)</p>

<p>ECs: AAU basketball 9th grade(just play recreationally now, money to travel was too much, but it was a significant time commitment all year round, ranging from 4-over 10 hours when we had a tournament)</p>

<p>2 Travel Baseball teams from 9th-10th grade, 1 from 11th-12th(along with JV baseball in 9th grade, and I'm thinking varsity next year, I'd say my total average time devoted to baseball has been about 5-6 hours/week all year round, every year, captain of my current travel baseball team)</p>

<p>National Honor Society(least involved of all my activites, will mark down just for some bulk)</p>

<p>Mock Trial Team(One of our 3 Lawyers, will be at least co-captain next year, 5-6 hours/week from later November-March/April, depending on success)</p>

<p>I also work for my dads company, for maybe 6-7 hours a week, along with 3 hrs/week in the winter working as a referee for the local PAL basketball league.</p>

<p>Awards: High Honor Roll every quarter(I think the req. is a 90 GPA)
Exceptional in Business Courses(for my Commercial Law class)
8th in Moot Court Competiton(local, nothing major)
Scattered Baseball/Basketball awards(will probably just omit)</p>

<p>Recs/Essay: I know for certain that I have at least 1 outstanding rec(my law teacher/mock trial coach), and my others should be very good too, as my teachers all really liked and respected me. I am also very good at writing essays, so I don't expect much trouble with the college essay.</p>

<p>I have my reach schools(Columbia, Georgetown, Duke, and maybe Chicago), but that was the easy part. I now need help selecting a few safety/match schools. I plan on going Pre-Law, or if there isn't a designated program, majoring in Political Science or Sociology(Any of the 3 I'm fine with).</p>

<p>If you could throw some names out there that you think would be a good fit(staying mostly on the East Coast), that would be great. I have no clue as of now, and any help would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Fordham or Syracuse might be safeties/low matches. Boston College might be another school to look into.</p>

<p>Also look at GWU, Villanova, Dickinson and Lafayette. Penn State might be a good safety.</p>

<p>Thanks to both of you, does anyone else have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Take a look at University of Richmond. If my memory is correct, you are guaranteed acceptance into their law school if you maintain a certain gpa (you should verify this). Also look at Franklin & Marshall. I think they have very high acceptance into law schools.</p>

<p>BC as your match/high match (great for pre-law and has a top tier law school that loves BC undergrads) and Fordham as your safety.</p>
