<p>As far as safeties go, which schools were you thinking of?</p>
<p>With your current stats, it looks like Clemson might not be a safety on admissions, while USC looks more likely for admissions but less affordable (i.e. not really a safety due to cost). Raising the ACT or SAT scores next fall may push Clemson into the safety range and/or become eligible for some of the automatic full ride scholarships.</p>
