Need Saftey Ideas

<p>Having trouble deciding on a safeties. I'm planning on majoring in Political Science/Government. I'm looking for a medium/large school on the east coast.</p>

<p>GPA: 96.5/100
Rank: 6 of 300
ACT: 33</p>

<p>Student Council VP, Ambassador of the Student Body
Debate Team Co-Captain
Golf Team Captain
Consul of National Latin Honor Society
Reporter for the School Newspaper
Youth Group Youth Council Member</p>

<p>Siemens Competition Regional Finalist
Siemens Competition Semi-Finalist (different year)
Summa Cum Laude - National Latin Exam
First Place at a few local debate tournaments
A few science fair awards</p>

<p>Villanova, Bucknell, Holy Cross. Holy Cross has very strong Classics/Latin program and several alumni in Congress-1 Senator, 3-4 Congressmen, 1 Supreme Court Justice. Bucknell has nice campus but more rural.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that a true safety is also a school that your know FOR SURE that you’ll have all costs covered as well as getting accepted.</p>

<p>Will your parents pay for wherever you go? If money is an issue, then you probably should include schools that will give merit scholarships for your stats.</p>

<p>What else do you want in a school? Quiet/nerdy? Spirited/big sports? Greeks? Rural campus? City campus?</p>

<p>Some safety ideas (depending on your answers to above questions)</p>

<p>Fordham
Loyola Maryland
American U</p>

<p>I’ll second American U - its a great school for Political Science and your stats will probably get a good merit offer</p>

<p>Fordham was the first one I thought of while reading your post. I see M2CK mentioned it first!</p>
