<p>How much will your family pay each year? THAT answer will likely determine where you should apply for yourl safety schools.</p>

<p>a school is NOT a safety unless you’re 100% certain that you have all costs covered. </p>

<p>BTW…you have a lot of OOS publics on your list. If your parents won’t pay the costs for those schools then they likely won’t be affordable even if accepted. If they won’t be affordable, then remove them from your list.</p>

<p>However, if your parents will pay $50k+ per year for any school, then we can give you a number of schools that will accept you.</p>

<p>It looks like you like big spirited schools.</p>

<p>Play around with this search tool, here is a sample search using your major, >5K students, same area as your other schools.
[College</a> Navigator - Search Results](<a href=“College Navigator - Search Results”>College Navigator - Search Results)
You can narrow it by using SAT ranges to eliminate schools that are too selective, and use the urban/suburban/rural/town options to narrow it down further.</p>

<p>Google is your friend: [Best</a> Colleges and Schools for a Public Relations Degree](<a href=“http://education-portal.com/best_college_for_public_relations.html]Best”>Best Colleges and Schools for a Public Relations Degree)</p>

<p>Then check the common data sets for each school to compare to your grades/test scores. And heed mom2collegekids: It’s not a safety if you can’t afford it.</p>

<p>my parents are willing to pay 50k a year. I just am uncertain of good safeties. any ideas?</p>
