Hi everyone,
Thank you for your responses. I totally forgot to mention finances, but they are not a huge issue in this process and will not be considered a deciding factor.
This article can help you compare a range of schools by rough selectivity: “The 610 Smartest Colleges,” Business Insider. So if, for example, you regard Boston College as a match, then colleges that place similarly would also generally be matches.
Bases onyour stats, a safety school would be any school that has a 40%+ acceptance rate.
