<p>My absolute favorite colleges right now are Harvey Mudd, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and Stanford. Can you please suggest colleges that are similar to my reaches but easier to get into?</p>
<p>Well, for a school to be a safety, then you need to know for sure that you have all costs covered…otherwise it’s not a safety. What is your safety and are you certain that you have all costs covered?</p>

<p>The following aren’t safeties because I don’t know if they are affordable. I think you mentioned in another thread that your parents will pay $30k. So, think of them more like matches…</p>
<p>I agree that URoch is a good idea. I like the rest of UCB’s list. I think you could get merit at some/most/all that would bring cost down to what your parents will pay.</p>
