For creative writing you might consider adding at least one undergraduate-focused school away from big cities.

With respect to your prospects at your listed schools, you may face some barriers to admission because of your standing outside the top 10% of your HS class. This could be an aspect to consider if you have any thoughts of revising your group.

4

Yes. I would like to consider more safety schools. Are there any safety schools with Creative Writing Major in Undergrad?

5

I think you need desirable matches even more than safeties. Have you looked through the articles I posted? You will see some colleges included that are not extremely selective.

6

You might consider from among Hamilton, Wesleyan, Colorado College and Vassar for reaches.

Oberlin, Kenyon Connecticut College and NYU could be matches.

Sarah Lawrence could serve as a possibly safer admit.

You could also look into the Claremonts for a potential match or reach.
