<p>I was just wondering what you guys thought some good safety schools would be for me, thanks in advance for your oppinions.</p>
<p>I have to disagree with abemartin. It is very difficult to get in to either UVa or UNC-CH from out of state. I do not think the OP should regard them as safeties or even matches. </p>
<p>UMCP seems like a match and would probably be a comfortable environment since most of the out of staters are from NY or NJ, but it is Div I. If the OP wants to play varsity football, he will need to go elsewhere.</p>
<p>Since you're on LI you should visit Kings Point. Spending a year at sea, you will learn a lot about international realtions. S is at KP and loves history and IR but figured he'd do his humanities work in grad school.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of your oppinions, I was already looking into Syracuce, Fordham, and American, and UMCP, but I think that I'm also going to look at U Delaware and Lafyette. Thanks a lot for your two cents.</p>
