62

<p>Michigan, Vermont, Bowdoin</p>

63

<p>Howard, UC Riverside, American U</p>

64

<p>Temple & West Chester</p>

<p>You are correct, I do not know about their essays. However, my ECs are on the same level or above theirs. I would consider them Low Match and not safeties. My safeties will most likely be Drexel and UDel Honors. Again my counselor has said as such, so I am not solely basing it on the stats.</p>

66

<p>Safeties in order from favorite to least:
U of Washington, James Madison U, U of Alaska, and USouth Carolina </p>

<p>UT Austin… maybe even SMU and U of Washington</p>

68

<p>Saint Joseph’s University, CUNY Baruch, St. John’s University, and SUNY New Paltz
Oh and University of San Francisco</p>

<p>If you are not accepted at any of your reach and match schools then maybe you ARE mediocre.</p>

<p>@tomofboston narcissistic people can be mediocre. Nothing groundbreaking there…</p>

<p>University of North Texas. Although I know I can get in and get a National Merit scholarship, I’m seriously considering it alongside higher-ranked schools.</p>

72

<p>UC riverside</p>

73

<p>Mine is my state flagship (penn state university park)</p>

74

<p>Suny Buffalo. And I’m probs applying to Canisus</p>

75

<p>Georgia State. I don’t think of UGA as a safety for me (my GPA sucks) but someone from the admissions office told me I’d be in without a problem, so I guess UGA too, ahah. Oglethorpe University, too – though I’m not sure they’d give me enough aid… I’ll apply though, I can get in and they’re giving me a free application.</p>

76

<p>NYU, because I live in NYC and my parents can afford it…</p>

77

<p>UCSB, UMich (in-state), Georgia Tech</p>

78

<p>I’ve decided to move Quinnipiac from a match to a safety school. Yessss.</p>

<p>Sorry - off topic - but there seems to be no way for me to start a new thread. </p>

<p>Why do people say that Perkins Loans are better than Subsidized Stafford Loans, when the former have a 5% interest rate, and the latter is only 3.4%? Thanks!</p>

<p>^Look at the top left of the list of threads. There is a button. And try posting in the financial aid forum. This forum is for high school students.</p>

<p>Anyway, mine are U Pitt, U Miami, and BU. I might throw in UCSB or something as well but idk.</p>
