<p>Hi, I am applying to colleges for next fall and, while I have all my dream schools on the list, I am having some trouble finding safeties that really fit who I am. I know that safeties ought to be colleges that would give a lot/full financial aid/scholarship and that would really fit who I am. I really want to engage intellectually, socially, and culturally at college. I want to major in finance/economics/business. What colleges should I put on my list? Could someone tell me 1 or 2 safeties that would fit me well? Here are my quick stats:</p>

<p>Sat:</p>

<p>R:680
M:770
W: 700</p>

<p>Math 1: 750
Math 2: 770
Spanish: 800
Bio M: 750</p>

<p>GPA: 97 (weighted)</p>

<p>AP’s: taken 6 until now: Micro, Macro, Calc AB, Spanish Lang, Eng Lang, Bio. Have gotten 5’s in all except English (4).
Taking other 5 AP’s senior year</p>

<p>I don’t know if this helps, but I also went to a summer course at Harvard University this summer. I took Finance and Accounting courses and really enjoyed them. I expect around A- or A on both.
I have also worked at a national bank and put my accounting knowledge in practice. </p>

<p>I really want to have a memorable experience in college, and to share my passion about life and business with really knowledgeable and passionate people: people like I met at Harvard. Can someone please help me? I am an international student applying for financial aid. Thank you!</p>

<p>If you are a US resident, you should apply to one of your state colleges as a safety school. In addition, you can find lists of safety schools on google: [The</a> Best Safety Schools: College Fallback Options](<a href=“http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-safety-schools-college-fallback-options]The”>Best Safety Schools | List of Good College Fallback Options). Depending upon your family’s financial needs, you also need to look for financial-safety schools.</p>
