In need of some safeties

<p>hey guys, I'm in need of some safeties.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
HS GPA: 3.7 UW with 9 aps
SAT: 1940 M: 610 CR: 640 W: 690
Loads of EC's</p>

<p>College: Applying as a sophomore
1st semester at selective LAC: 4.0
Getting some awesome recommendations
Good Essays
A few good EC's</p>

<p>As of now I have applied to Elon, William and Mary, and UNC. I also want to apply to UVA. Where else should I consider? I want a bigger school compared to what I am at now (<2000), so perhaps 5000+ would even be big enough.</p>

<p>I would like a school in the midatlantic/south: MD/VA/NC/
I'm willing to go farther though for a school that would fit me well...</p>

<p>I’m also applying to W&M and UNC! I think we (might) have similar tastes, so I’m gonna list some schools I’ve been looking at that are more on the safety-ish side (but not total safeties): NC State, University of Richmond, VA Tech, American University and College of Charleston. </p>

<p>What’s your first choice school?</p>

<p>Academic safeties or financial safeties? How much money can your family pay?</p>

<p>Where were you admitted last year? Are any of those places on your list this time?</p>

<p>I’m looking for academic safeties/matches, as I know that I may be denied by all of my schools save Elon. My family will not receive FA, but that does not necessarily mean that we can afford to pay $50,000+ a year. $40,000 is probably more feasible, and at best the most my parents would be willing to pay. Last year I was waitlisted at Wake Forest (I may apply again) and denied by UVA (OOS). My top choice is UNC, followed by UVA/William and Mary, and last is Elon.</p>

<p>McBainTrain, UofR does seem like a good match. I’ll definitely look at it! Thanks!</p>

<p>Do you like any of the public universities in your home state? Those might be your best options.</p>
