Looking for Suggestions for Safety Schools

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello, I'm a senior at an academically strong public high school and I trying to find a good safety school or two. </p>

<p>To give some context, I have a 4.2 weighted GPA, 35 ACT and have taken 5-6 APs with a few more planned for senior year. I also am a varsity soccer captain, am an editor for the school newsmagazine, and am in leadership positions in a few clubs. I may play collegiate soccer if I am able to play at an academically competitive school.</p>

<p>Some of my top choice schools are Washington University in St. Louis, Duke University, Princeton University, Richmond University, etc (in no particular order).</p>

<p>I'm looking for safety schools that have good honors programs and/or are very strong in Economics or Political Science (two of my areas of academic interest).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Take a look at your state’s flagship school(s). You would do well in those. </p>

<p>If you can afford it, your in-state public flagship. Otherwise look at the pinned threads in the Financial Aid forum for assured merit aid.</p>
