Suggestions for safety schools

<p>I found this on another thread. I don’t much believe in ranking systems, but here it is anyway. Tulane is on the list, and frankly at the undergrad level, unless you are a 1 in a million math genius where you are essentially going to be doing high level reserch as an undergrad, a partial differential equation is the same everywhere. All these schools can prepare you very well for grad school. You really want to go where the fit is best. Size, affordability, weather, urban/rural, your peer students (especially this). These are the kinds of factors you want to take into account.</p>

<p>Anyway, here is the list, for what it’s worth.</p>
