<p>What are your grades/class rank? If you have all A’s, then I would say UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and the University of Michigan would make for good safety schools since you’re already so competitive. If you’re into LACs, then Vassar may be good as well. Not that these aren’t top universities…they just have substantially more space/applicant pools that are slightly less competitive than some of the other schools you’re considering.</p>
