<p>Summary:
I need some schools, mainly safeties for my stats. I have taken almost all AP/IB/Honors classes. I have a 3.48 GPA but it will be a 3.5 at the end of my summer Tech class. 4.28 W. Thanks for helping!</p>

2

<p>Get the GPA up to 3.5 and Alabama will give you full tuition plus $2500 as a chemical engineering student. Good admissions and financial safety.</p>

3

<p>Thanks. Also I forgot to mention financial aid would be nice, but it is not a deal breaker and cost is not an issue otherwise.</p>

4

<p>Towson would be a good safety and they have scholarships that would fit you.</p>

5

<p>Any other safeties maybe a bit further away from where I live? Preferably nearish to a city.</p>

6

<p>U Dayton and Wright State would be fairly safe.</p>

7

<p>Not safeties but perhaps Northeastern, WPI, RPI?
Safety - RIT, Drexel?</p>

8

<p>Northeastern’s not a safety? I always got the impression that it was for me. Drexel is a possibility. My aunt is actually a professor there.</p>

9

<p>University of South Carolina - Columbia, University of the Pacific, Stony Brook, Colorado State</p>

10

<p>Northeastern might not be a safety just due to numbers. Their application count has grown so much that their acceptance rate is down near 30%. You are certainly a match there, and likely to get in, but no guarantee.</p>
