Match me with some "safety" schools

<p>Its horrible to think that people can regard to some schools as safety schools since the college application process is so strenuous but I wanted to know if you can match me with some schools were my acceptance would be probable.
Im hopefully going to major in Economics and History and I strive to go to law school following undergraduate. </p>

<p>I have a 96 average (99 weighted)
32 ACT with a 10 on the essay
2120 SAT CR 710 MATH 710 READING 700 with a 10 on the essay</p>

<p>I have good EC's and a strong essay</p>

<p>1st gen college student
Hispanic/latino</p>

<p>I would prefer to attend a school not in the city but very close to one. </p>

<p>Any and all help in finding this school would be appreciated!!! Thank you in advanced
If you want me to chance I will also</p>

<p>What is your financial situation? What state do you live in? What schools are already on your list?</p>

<p>Cost constraints?</p>

<p>If you have limited money, go to the financial aid and scholarships forum and look for the automatic full tuition and full ride scholarships thread for lists of potential safeties.</p>

<p>Also, have you checked whether your in-state public universities have assured admission and/or good need-based aid and/or merit scholarships for you?</p>

<p>Remember, deadlines for scholarships may be coming soon.</p>

<p>A safety has to be affordable. How much will your family pay each year?</p>

<p>Alabama would give you free tuition, but you’d need to apply by Dec 15…the app is quick and easy…no essays…no LORs.</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>

<p>Based on your profile, the following would likely be safeties in/near cities:
if you’re a girl, Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, St Kate’s in Minneapolis-St Paul, Mills in San Francisco, Simmons in Boston, Chatham in Pittsburgh.
in other cases: Goucher (Baltimore), Ithaca, Clark, Birmingham Southern, Flagler, Florida Southern, Trinity (San Antonio), Rhodes (Memphis), Guilford (Greensboro). Those would all be safeties where you’d get a very nice financial aid package.</p>

<p>Muhlenberg considers “level of applicant’s interest”, probably a signal that it does not want to be anyone’s last choice safety.</p>

<p>Consideration of “level of applicant’s interest” is becoming increasingly common; check each school’s common data set (section C7) or admissions tab at <a href=“http://www.collegedata.com%5B/url%5D”>http://www.collegedata.com</a> .</p>

<p>I am male and I do intend on applying for financial aid but I do not consider myself financially constrained. I live in New York. Thank you for all the feedback</p>

<p>Well, it’s nice you don’t consider yourself to be financially constrained, but how do your parents feel about that? :slight_smile: Have you asked how much they would be willing to pay. One reason this is coming up is affordability is part of being a safety. You can always look at the stickies in the financial aid forum for places that will offer you good scholarships.</p>

<p>Most of the SUNY schools would serve as both admissions and financial safeties. If your ultimate interest is law you might want to consider the 3 + 3 programs at UAlbany or Union College in Schenectady.</p>
