4

<p>He’s asking for safety schools.</p>

<p>Mainly because of lowish ACT:
U of I
UMW
Purdue
RPI
RIT</p>

5

<p>Bummmmmppppp</p>

6

<p>The most important factor in a safety school is financial safety. How much can your parents pay a year? </p>

<p>Also, any other preferences? Size, location, etc?</p>

7

<p>lol your “low” act. you know thats in the 99th percentile right? geeze.</p>

8

<p>not thinking 33 is a “low-ish” ACT score…</p>

9

<p>He is asking for “safety” schools meaning guaranteed to get in. Relative to his other stats his ACT is “low-ish”. One or two points more and some additional schools would become “safeties” - U. Mich, USC, maybe CMU.</p>

10

<p>USC and UMich are probably already safeties.</p>

11

<p>^^ since you qualify with “probably” they aren’t “safeties” and you and I agree.</p>
