suggest me some SAFETIES please!

College Search & Selection

<p>I’ve pretty much finished my college list, but I’d like 1 or 2 private safeties to apply to. Here’s the list so far:</p>

<li>MIT (EA)</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>WUSTL</li>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>UCSD/UCSB/UCSC</li>
<li>UC Merced </li>
</ol>

<p>I’d like to major in chemical or biomedical engineering, but I’m still really interested in psychology. Do you think I even need any more safeties with UCSB/UCSC/UCM on my list? Any advice would be appreciated!</p>

<p>oh, and I'm in-state for the UCs, in case that wasn't apparent :)</p>

3

<p>UCSC is kind of a safety.</p>

4

<p>thanks, anyone else?</p>

<p>Due to the horrifying unpredictability of UC admissions, I would suggest finding a CSU you could live with, as a backup.</p>

6

<p>You are fine, with your profile and stat, I am pretty sure any of the lower UC would be a safety.</p>

<p>Are you ELC? If you are you really don't need any safeties, as you are guaranteed placement at most of the mid to lower tier UCs.</p>

<p>If not, i would suggest finding a CSU, as private safeties don't make much sense (why pay 45k a year for a safety?).</p>
