<p>Ok, as everyone knows, Stanford is a crazy hard reach, and that's also my first choice school. Now I'm looking for a match/safety that has the same general kind of environment. I'm undecided, but my major might be somewhere along the lines of engineering (industrial).. Stats aside (grades/test scores/ECs shouldn't be a problem anywhere except the very top) where should I be looking for matches/safeties.</p>
<p>Someone has suggested Berkeley as a possible match. I also live in Washington, so University of Washington could probably be a safety, but it's huge and I don't really like it. Looking for a smaller private school setting.. (well at least not 40k students!)</p>
<p>bump
i want to know,too</p>
<p>are you a girl? if so, wellesley is something to investigate.
hm...engineering....try purdue, carnegie mellon, cornell, etc. those aren't really safeties, of course. cornell and probably CMU are reach/matches. purdue is kind of a safety.</p>
<p>Well if you meant campus environment, after living at Stanford, I'd say you'd might like:</p>
<p>Rice University
Tulane
Pomona
Cornell
USC
WUSTL
Boston College
University of Arizona</p>
<p>Now, it's hard to translate Stanford's campus environment + academics standards to many match schools, nevermind safeties. None of those above is safety/match except Arizona. I'll think on it...</p>
<p>I've looked into Rice and I hear it's beautiful.. Cornell as a match/safety is uh.. really stretching it... I'm not sure I've seen the campus either</p>
<p>No I'm not a girl but thanks for the suggestion.. I'm sure it'll help someone..</p>
<p>No, the only match/safety on that list above is Arizona.</p>
