Need Safety Schools

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey CC! I've noticed that my current college list is looking quite top-heavy. I realized I need more safeties. My stats are 2370 superscore (800M, 800CR, 770W), ~3.7 UW GPA, and ~10/440. I am a NMSF and have strong awards/ECs/leadership positions. My requirements are as follows:</p>

<ol>
<li>Strong Science/Applied Mathematics/Business </li>
<li>Good Financial Aid/Scholarship Opportunities</li>
<li>Preferably mid-sized</li>
<li>Preferably West Coast</li>
<li>Preferably with Honors program</li>
</ol>

<p>Hopefully you people will be able to help me in my search for potential safety schools. Thanks ahead of time.</p>

<p>A safety must be affordable, so you may want to specify your state of residency and cost constraints so that others can make appropriate suggestions.</p>

<p>In the mean time, you may want to look at these lists:</p>

<p>I would also add this somewhat dated thread as a source: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/national-merit-scholarships/649276-nmf-scholarships-updated-compilation.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>BTW, if you are willing to happily attend a safety (which is part of the definition of a safety) then you only need one.</p>
