<p>I have posted a thread on here earlier as well. </p>
<p>Can Tulane, University of Washington - Seattle, University of Miami, University of Pittsburgh, University of Maryland - College Park and University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign be considered safeties?</p>
<p>I have a 2070 sat score first attempt. GPA around 3.87, top 5-10% of class. International student not asking for aid. Retaking SAT in May. ECs: debate club, drama president, muns nationally and internationally, journalism.</p>
<p>I would look at the admissions data in the College Navigator. [College</a> Navigator - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign](<a href=“College Navigator - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign”>College Navigator - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) If a school admits over 50% of applicants and you lie near the 75%ile for scores and grades I’d feel pretty good about it being a safety. As in Int’l I would make sure I had more than one of those (being full pay certainly helps). Also check out the Common Data Set for each school (section C7) to see what they use for admission.</p>
<p>thank you so much, Erin’s Dad!
out of these, Washington, Pitt and Urbana-Champaign have an admit rate of more than 50%. I’m leaning towards Seattle. Not just the higher ranking but the urban location. Between Pitt and Washington, both urban schools, I think Washington’s the better choice. Am I right?</p>
<p>Tulane, I’m gonna keep because it’s a free app and New Orleans sounds brilliant. For some reason, it’s ranked 50ish though. I recall it being 30-40 a few years ago.</p>
<p>What about Wisconsin - Madison? completely forgot about it.</p>
<p>I’d call Tulane and Maryland matches, but MAKE SURE you apply early to both! If you apply for the RD deadline, both schools become significantly harder to get into. Check out each school’s forum and you’ll see the results threads. Maryland’s priority deadline is Nov 1 and I’m not sure about Tulane. That’s crucial, though! </p>
<p>I don’t know about the other schools, so I can’t speak for them.</p>
<p>question re: maryland and tulane. Are they early action programs or rolling?</p>
<p>Is your google broken?

<p>I thought I’d ask her since she’d just posted. I found out the required information. thanks.</p>
<p>Again, one question I’m not quite sure about regarding Single Choice Early Action. Does it allow you to apply to non restrictive early programs? i checked the princeton website but either it’s not very clearly enunciated or i’m just particularly dumb today because i didn’t get it clearly from there.</p>
<p>Single choice early action typically means that you can only apply to that one school EA. Although it is non-binding, you may not send in multiple EA applications if you apply to a school with single choice early action. I believe that it should not stop you from applying to admission rolling schools but you should double check.</p>
<p>You need to check on each schools SCEA restrictions. They differ (google still works if you actually USE it).</p>
