<p>I would like to know based on some of this information what are good SAFETY SCHOOLS for me. I want to major in econ and then possibly biz management.</p>
<p>I really am having a hard time picking schools to start applications. Thank you so much for your help</p>
<p>Depends on what type of school environment you're most comfortable with (ie school size, regional preferences). </p>
<p>Possible safety schools with good economics undergraduate programs (assuming that your weighted GPA is around 4.0 or higher):
George Mason
Ohio state
University of Washington
UC Long Beach
UC Santa Barbara</p>
<p>Was high school that hard that you only got 3.3? I don't get it.</p>
<p>yeah as a matter of fact it was, lots of family issues, divorce, balancing sports leadership and a full ib dilploma curriculum. i would say that is hard.........things happen not everyone has the kind of environment to get a 4.0</p>
<p>waht was your gpa?</p>
<p>4.0 and trust me i had problems too but never let anything effect my schoolwork. School always came first.</p>
<p>well through abuse and alcholism in to the mix and school doesnt always come "first" i had trouble even getting to school some days....its not a fair judgment if you dont know somoenes situation. not to be argumentative</p>
<p>and taht was my parents, ive never done any of that, school was always first in my mind</p>
<p>That's a bit condescending. 3.3 UW is a B+. Not bad at all, especially considering the fact that 30% of HS students don't even manage to graduate. </p>
<p>Sometimes environmental factors are beyond our control. To assume that everyone has the same background and support to be able to get a 4.0 GPA is extremely naive. School may not always come first, different people have different priorities in life.</p>
