<p>Hey guys
I'm a rising senior, trying to sort out my final college list before school starts. I think I have a good set of reaches/matches but I'm still not sure about safeties. My parents really like the idea of scholarships (I don't need fin aid) so I was wondering if I could get money from these schools - USC, University of Washington. Are there any other good safety schools that would pay me to enroll there?</p>
