<p>If your grades are good, with that SAT score, if money is not an issue, Case Western is pretty much a safety for you. </p>
<p>Apply to two safety schools. Two is good because if you only get into your safety schools, you still have a choice to make.</p>
<p>My personal favorite safety school for a very strong student is DePaul. I have visited it with both kids. A great place. You shouldn’t count it as a safety if you don’t do something to show love though - preferably a visit.</p>
<p>A very strong student who is also interested in music might consider St. Olaf as a safety school. Again, though, show some love.</p>
<p>Check the Jesuit colleges. I’ve attached a link. Some are reasonable safeties for very good students like yourself who do not want to use their in state public schools as safety schools and are not concerned about tuition. (Your parents are on board with not worrying about the tuition?)
