NEED East Coast Safety Schools

College Search & Selection
1

<p>What are some good east coast safety schools? Here is a quick sum up of my stats:</p>

<p>SAT's: 700's, with one 660 in Math.
GPA: 4.4 Unweighted, 3.8 Weighted
EC's, recommendations and essays will all be good. Go to a good high school in California.</p>

<p>Things I generally want in a school are diversity, a beautiful campus, between 2 and 8 thousand undergraduates, good academics and either a short drive to a big city or a cute college town nearby. As a safety, the acceptance rate should be between 50 and 75%.</p>

<p>So far I've looked at University of Vermont (not diverse enough), St. Mary's College of Maryland (too isolated) and Ursinus College (too small). Can anyone else point me in alternative directions?</p>

<p>St. Michael’s is in Burlington. I am not sure about how many students it has, but how about Providence College? Also, Ithaca College.</p>

<p>Stony Brook?
Pretty diverse (about 33% Caucasian)
About an hour from NYC. Located on Long Island
More undergrads than you want ~ 14000
Not sure about the campus beauty
Acceptance rate ~47%</p>

<p>What about Johnson and Wales in Providence,RI? I think they have about 9,000 students though. Its right down the hill from Brown and its in the like downtown area of Providence.</p>

<p>Look at Drew. Nice campus with nearby train access to NYC.</p>

<p>Hood College in MD. Beautiful, close to both DC and Baltimore. :slight_smile:
they also have a lovely Honors Program.</p>

<p>Syracuse University fits most of your criteria.</p>

<p>You have a typo:</p>

or

<p>Manhattan College (NY) and Hobart and William Smith Colleges (NY).</p>

<p>Ithaca College is in Ithaca. Fordham would offer NYC. Brandeis could be somewhere around there, and offers Boston. UMass-Amherst, and the other non-Amherst 5-college schools could work.</p>
