Need Help with Safety Schools

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've already applied to Emerson and UNCW EA for film, and I plan on applying to NYU, USC, and Ithaca in December/January, but I really need help finding a safety.</p>

<p>Some stats:</p>

<p>GPA - 3.75 (around there)
Class Rank - Top 25 %
SAT - 1910 (CR - 660 M - 470 W - 780) (I know I have an awful math score)
ACT - 26 (M - 21 E - 32) (see above)
I think I've written a good essay and had great recommendations; I have a lot of dedicated extracurriculars (founded/president of a film club, director of daily news show at high school, A&E editor on the paper, V Track and field, for example), a solid amount of volunteer hours, and two jobs. </p>

<p>I've been thinking of applying to the University of Pittsburgh - I think I'd get in and there's been a lot of movie activity there recently with the Batman series, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, etc., so it's not a completely irrelevant choice.</p>

<p>I recently visited West Chester University and actually really liked it, but they don't have my major. Any schools similar that do? </p>

<p>Basically, please recommend some statistical/financially "safe" schools for me to apply to! Thank you!</p>

<p>For a school to be a safety, you have to ALSO know FOR SURE that you have ALL COSTS covered.</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay each year? That answer will likely determine where you should apply for safety schools.</p>
