<p>You’re asking for “good safety schools” but I also really think you need to look at some good MATCH or “accessible” schools, as you call them. In my opiniion, you are too top-heavy, given your SAT I and II stats. Good match or slight reach schools would then be schools like Boston College, Bucknell, or NYU. Safety schools would be schools like Northeastern or perhaps a Syracuse or American. Tufts would be considered a low to mid reach school for you, but you’ve got Boston U penciled in correctly. I’m assuming you want to stay on the East Coast. There are lots of East Coast schools that fit your profile, assuming you don’t need financial aid.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! Sorry I didn’t clarify it I am also looking for some other match school because I feel too top heavy and I don’t really know all the colleges!! Also do you know any of schools that could be considered match/safety that give merit aid?</p>
