What would be some good safety schools for me?

College Search & Selection
1

So far I’m applying to: UF, FSU, Emory, UNC, UVA, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, GW

Some I’m considering are George Mason and James Madison.

I like mid-size to large schools that aren’t in a super urban area, but also aren’t in the middle of nowhere. I can’t go too far north because I really can’t handle the cold. Any other suggestions for schools I should add?

-I live in FL
-4.0 unweighted GPA, 5.8 weighted (that’s how my high school does it, it would definitely be different recalculated for college)
-33 act
-1 AP class sophomore year, 4 junior year, 4 senior year
-involved in theater program at my high school, member of international honor thespian society, competed in multiple theater competitions and won awards
-Vice President of an organization at my school called Why Define Us? - a group that mentors middle school girls on topics such as body image, self confidence, social media, and coming of age
-volunteer life guard for a summer at the Y
-volunteer at Give Kids the World- a place where make a wish kids stay with their families when their wish is to go to Disney
-regular babysitting

Didn’t you post this before? I’ll tell you the same thing I said in the last thread. Go to UF or FSU.

EDIT: I misread the title asking for safety schools my apologies. I’d say USF, UCF, FIU.

How about adding American? You would likely get some merit aid.

UGA, Bama, USF, FAU, Tulane

American considers level of interest to be very important, so treating it as a low choice “safety” is risky.

Cost constraints?

“American considers level of interest to be very important, so treating it as a low choice “safety” is risky.”

Same with Tulane.

Run the NPCs for each school. You said on your previous thread you need aid to go out of state. Alabama would give you close to full tuition in merit (as would UAH)

Alabama would give you full tuition.
