Help suggest some safeties for nyu/usc/gtown

I've been on here for a while as I applied to Georgetown on a whim this last year but did not get off the wait-list. Now that I've taken additional transferable GE prereqs and will complete Calc 1 in the spring, I'm eligible to apply for transfer to a wider range of schools.

My stats:
Current school: 2 year CC
non-trad student, high school drop out, GED, no SAT/ACT score.
GPA: 3.9 on 106 college credits
Major: Finance
EC: Student Body President, US Senate Internship, non-paid lobbyist, now working for a US Senate campaign, various student clubs, , general volunteer work (habitat for humanity, food banks etc.).
WE: 6-7 years of IT work for dot-coms and banks(nothing at management level).

I plan to apply to the following schools as of now:
Target/Reach
1. NYU
2. USC
3. Gtown

Safeties
1. Northeastern
2. Bentley
3. UMD

*I am limited by having not taken calc 2 or foreign language.

Any suggestions on additional schools to add to my list or is this good? I'm not sure if I should add in more safeties or not since I have a non-traditional background. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

No Calculus 2 as a prospective transfer for Stern? Fughetaboutit.

But in all seriousness, try to self-study calculus 1 because it is very basic, and does not require a lot of class sit-in time. That way you can take an achievement test or the equivalent and move onto Calculus 2 where you would originally be taking Calculus 1.

Yeah I figured NYU Stern would be a big reach with only having Calc 1 completed. I have a busy schedule so I'm not sure I have the time to self study Calc 1 in order to make it into Calc 2 next semester.
