Safety Schools for stong student?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I'm looking for another safety school to round out my list of colleges. Here's the colleges I already know I'm applying to:
Williams
Brown
Princeton
St. Mary's College of Maryland
Smith College
Swarthmore College
Bryn Mawr College
and William & Mary is a possibility.</p>

<p>I have a 4.0 UW GPA, my weighted is something like 4.48 right now.
I'll have taken 10 AP tests by the time I finish high school (I'm a rising senior currently enrolled in 5 APs.) I got 5's on all of my tests so far except for Chem, where I got a 4.
SAT: 2170
Math: 670
CR: 800
Writing: 700</p>

<p>The subject tests I'm taking soon.</p>

<p>Extra curriculars: Girl Scout for 10+ years, currently working on my Gold Award for that
rec soccer for about 8 years
National Honor Society
National Arts Honor Society (Secretary)
Volunteered as a junior docent at the local historical museum (basically dress up in colonial costume and give visitors a tour)
considering joining the model UN team this year.</p>

<p>I'd like a college that's on the smaller side, in the Northeast or on the East Coast. I'm looking for a liberal arts school, as I'll probably end up majoring in social sciences. Does anyone know of a safety school that will fit these criteria?
Thanks so much everyone!!</p>

<p>I assume you live in md?</p>

<p>Three schools similar to st Marys are:
Tcnj
Geneseo.
New college of Florida</p>

<p>Another affordable suny with high stats is binghamton, which is a manageable size.</p>

<p>All four have an intimate feel with a selective student body focusing on academics.</p>

<p>Everyone has heard of W&M, but there are similar schools that are slightly less selective and much less beautiful.</p>

<p>You would be a good candidate for merit aid at Dickinson. Do you have plans to retake your SAT this fall to try to bring up your math a bit? It would make you a stronger candidate for your reach schools.</p>

<p>Williams: Reach
Brown: Reach
Princeton: Reach
St. Mary’s College of MD: Safety
Smith: Low match/Match
Swarthmore: Reach
Bryn Mawr: Low match
W&M: Match</p>

<p>Mt. Holyoke perhaps?</p>

<p>Yes, Mount Holyoke also offers some good merit aid as well.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone.
I’m sorry to bother everyone again, but should I have more middle-tier schools? It seems like I have too many reach schools.
Thanks for all the help!!</p>

<p>For other safeties (after St Mary’s of MD), look into Goucher, Mary Washington, Christopher Newport.</p>

<p>I second Geneseo, Allegheny, and Dickinson for good matches.</p>

<p>UPDATE: I got my subject test results back; 800 US History and 790 English Lit. Does this help me much?</p>
