Great analysis/write-up.

Bentley & Babson College are both business schools accustomed to dealing with international students–especially Babson College.

Providence is in a bit of a bad area and some complain that it is run-down.

Any Big Ten business school should be considered (although Northwestern for economics is out of reach & Michigan-Ross is unlikely). Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Maryland, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Iowa, and Nebraska are all Big Ten schools which should be examined for any business programs of interest. For example, if OP enjoys Computer Science, then Raikes at Nebraska could be a great CS/Business combination which offers at least four years free room & board among the other Raikes students in addition to other merit scholarship awards such as a waiver of non-resident tuition. (Not sure whether Raikes is open to international students, but that is easily checked.)

Oh, my. You should edit this.

Three University of Chicago students have been shot in the last year, and 2 were from China. At the mass shooting at MSU, 2 of the 8 shot were from China and the university held a special zoom with Chinese parents to address their concerns.

Americans can pretend all we want that we don’t have certain problems, but why are you asking him to redact his statement?

The chance/match template intended “safety” to be a list of colleges with certain admission and affordability for the student, but the OP seems to have interpreted it in terms of safety versus crime, racism, or other hazards.

Obviously, if this is important for the OP, it should be listed as a preference factory, although reformatted so as not to be confusing regarding safety/likely/match/reach categorizations of colleges.

Yes, in my initial response to the OP (first response to post above), I explained what “safety” meant in the context of college list building. I acknowledged and addressed the OP’s confusion, but I didn’t ask him to remove his aversion to certain areas as that preference seemed relevant, too.

I think that @Yonkers6thBoro, in using the word “edit” instead of the word “redact,” meant to suggest that the grammar in the statement should be corrected, not that the statement should be eliminated. At least that’s how I took the comment.

Perhaps @Yonkers6thBoro overlooked that this is an international student. Surely we can give some grace to an individual whose native tongue is not English and not ask for a grammatical correction. :slight_smile: The OP obviously misunderstood how safety/likely is used in college admissions context. Perhaps posters in this thread should avoid abbreviations and slang to help the OP understand the intent of our messages.

@ziyi_wang1 If after reading all the responses here you need more clarification, please don’t hesitate to ask. Posters will do their best to guide you. Best of luck!

Familiar with the University of Chicago. It is located in a dangerous area.

I did not overlook that the OP is an international student; nor did I ask for a grammatical correction, or otherwise criticize what the OP wrote. I was merely stating, in response to another poster, what I thought that @Yonkers6thBoro meant with his/her comment – editing, as opposed to redacting.

Apologies. I meant to respond to @Yonkers6thBoro. Since I can’t untag you I edited my post to make that clear.

yes, that’s what i mean

i apologize for my incorrect word, i thought the “safety” means security. And before i apply shool. i have internships in national level private equity and in a business Incubation Base of SANYI which a top 500 company in the world. And i’d like to apply some well-known university or high ranking university. (except newyork,it’s too expensive)

Since you have a $100k per year budget, all US colleges are affordable - including the ones in New York.

Many excellent school suggestions have been listed above while you were away. Check them out.
