Recommendations for schools?

I’m planning on applying ED to Tufts and EA to University of Michigan (target school) in case that doesn’t work out. I’m also applying to SUNY Binghamton as a safety school. I’m considering Northeastern and NYU, and maybe Northwestern as a reach school. Could anyone recommend any schools to look into that are similar to the ones I’m applying to, maybe in ranking or location? I’m looking for a school near/in a city. Thanks!

“I’m looking for a school near/in a city.”

These Newsweek online articles can help you find schools similar to the ones you like already: “The 25 Most Desirable Suburban Schools”; “The 25 Most Desirable Urban Schools.”

“maybe in ranking”

Once you read through, you can readily check their rankings.

BU, BC, UMiami

Hard to know without your stats, but you can look into Tulane, UMiami, BU, BC, Villanova, GW, Fordham, USC as options.

BU, Georgrtown, George Washington

If your stats are at the high end of Tufts (ED) then this could be moot point. But if not, my advice is to consider your safeties carefully. Choose only schools you 'd be happy to attend.
