Safety Schools Needed

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I need a list of safety schools. I am graduating this year and am ranked at the top of my class with a 2300+ SAT. These schools need to be financial (high potential for full tuition scholarship) and admissions safeties. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Well it might be hard to get a full ride to a lot of the good privates so you might wanna look into public schools like UMich, UNC, or UVA. They’re all selective but with those test scores, you probably have a really good shot at them.</p>

<p>Oh, I should mention that I am applying late in the cycle. So, many schools’ deadlines have passed. </p>

<p>Are u an international?If so, then there won’t be any safeties if you apply for great amounts of FA at any private institution.</p>

<p>A 2300+ is not enough to determine the outcome of your apps. What are your ECs? How did u write your essays? The intangibles are crucial in making yourself distinct in loads of mediocre walking-4.0+2400s.</p>

<p>Still, wish you all the best in the whole application season.

<p>No, I am from the Midwest. For many safety schools, stats are all that are considered. But, if you’re curious, everything else is stellar. The only issue is that I need financial and admissions safeties that will take people this late in the cycle.</p>

<p>What are you going to major in? Where do you live? </p>

<p>The only schools that have deadlines in February are ones that are considered to be third and fourth tier schools – which seems like a bit too much of a safety for someone of your caliber. Decent safeties for you would have been schools like Northeastern where you would’ve gotten close to a full ride – but those deadlines have all passed. Your only options are third and fourth tier, smaller privates. </p>

<p>Did you look at the list of automatic merit aid posted to the top of the financial aid forum? I know some, if not most, of those deadlines have passed but there should be some left. There is a list for competitive large merit but I think those have passes you can check.
