<p>Which of the following schools can i call safeties for me, if any? </p>

<p>1.SUNY Binghamton
2.SUNY Geneseo (legacy ha)
3.Northeastern U
4.Boston U
5.University of Delaware
6.Lehigh U
7.Villanova U
8.American U </p>

<p>all for business</p>

<p>These are my academic stats. besides this I am very involved in ec's and such so that shouldnt be a problem.. </p>

<p>SAT I: 680M; 630CR; 670W... retaking..
SATII: both should clear 650, if not 700</p>

<p>Rank: don't know yet but at least in top 20%.. on the verge of top 10%
GPA: 93 UW; 96 W</p>

<p>Senior Year Sched: AP CALC, AP LIT, AP GOV, AP SPANISH, AP PHYSICS</p>

<p>do I need a more safety safety? what if i apply to all the schools i listed.. i should get into at least one correct?</p>

<p>I would say that both SUNYs are safeties based on your stats, though SUNYs have been increasing in popularity recently. I highly doubt that all of the schools on your list would reject you. As a matter of fact, I think UDelaware, both SUNYs, and American U will accept you, and likely Northeastern as well. Villanova and BU will be more difficult, and Lehigh will be the most difficult. Get that SAT up and you have a shot.</p>

<p>You also might want to think about Macaulay honors @ CUNY…</p>

4

<p>I definitely disagree with the cookie above me. Geneseo is definitely NOT a safety foryou… on the opposition, I would think that American + Northeastern would be the safeties, maybe Binghamton too.</p>

<p>SUNY Geneseo:</p>

<p>48% of students with a GPA above 3.75
Middle 50% of SAT Math: 640 - 690
Middle 50% of SAT Reading: 620 - 700</p>

<p>So if you are looking at the numbers the original poster is right about in the upper half of all students. With a higher SAT, I think Geneseo is a definite acceptance.</p>

<p>Northeastern has nearly the exact same numbers, as does American, thus these schools are all solid matches if not safeties (with a higher SAT and a strong showing on the SAT II).</p>

<p>Villanova, BU, and especially Lehigh all have numbers that are above the SUNYs mentioned and Northeastern and American, which is why my original assessment stands.</p>

6

<p>I think BU is not necessarily going to be a safety…more of a reach, imo for you
Consider Bryn Mawr and Temple U-- they’re both in PA, close to Villanova :stuck_out_tongue: GL!</p>

7

<p>all but lehigh and villanova, but could be if you increase your sats</p>

8

<p>Just an FYI, American’s bschool is nothing particularly special.</p>

9

<p>BU a reach? on naviance for my school there are like 40 people who got in all around me, including many below… why do you say american’s business school is not particularly special? i know its not like wharton or stern or anything but i need a safety that has a biz school that i like…</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

10

<p>BU is NOT a reach. </p>

<p>Very Safe: Delaware, American
Safety Schools: Both SUNYs, Boston U., Northeastern
Slight reach: Nova
Reach: Lehigh</p>

11

<p>BU is not a safety either…</p>

12

<p>Haha, this is pretty much my business school list. You just need to switch American to Penn State, and then you have my list. You have a pretty good shot at those schools.</p>

<p>In:
Binghamton
BU
University of Delaware
American</p>

<p>Slight reach/reach:
Villanova
Lehigh
Geneseo</p>

<p>I don’t know what to say about NEU, but probably in.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

13

<p>So its pretty much…</p>

<p>Safety:
U of Delaware
American U
Geneseo
Bing
Boston U
Northeastern U</p>

<p>would nova and lehigh be reaches or matches??</p>

14

<p>I dont think BU and Bingo are safeties.</p>
