<p>I know I listed 2-3 safeties in that list, but can others suggest any more safeties or matches that aren't far from the New England area? Thanks.</p>

<p>Apply to UMass for sure. It sucks, but go there if financial aid doesn't work out.<br>
Try Bard or Ithaca in upstate NY. Ithaca is especially a safety.</p>

3

<p>What state are you from and will you need financial aid?</p>

4

<p>CT, and I'll need some financial aid.</p>

5

<p>How about Brandeis?</p>

<p>Any particular reason you're not considering Bates? Great track team and track facilities + great service learning program. Seems like a fit in terms of ECs. Bates also has a great science program (better than many other LACs on your list). I think Bates would be a match/low match for you. </p>
