<p>If you are happy with FIU, you don’t need safeties. You are fortunate to be going in already with an option. I wouldn’t recommend UCs as they do not offer substantial financial aid or merit aid to OOS students, period. You have a very reach heavy list, which is fine as long as you are prepared to have a thick skin during decisions season. Check out Tufts, Lehigh, and University of Rochester, for some high match/lower reaches.</p>
