Add More Safeties?

<p>I have a list of six colleges already:
Scripps College (first-choice so applying EDI - already know this isn’t something one should do if the want to compare FA)
Wesleyan University
Occidental College
Willamette University
University of Puget Sound
Southwestern University</p>

<p>I’m trying to look for a small college outside TX that has a Film/Media Studies program that will count as a safety with my stats. Trouble is I am in financial need and several calculators informing me that I have $0 EFC. I am already aware that this might not be the case with the colleges’ own calculators.</p>

<p>Literary Magazine

<p>Family Responsibilities

<p>Creative Writing and Play-by-Post

<p>University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Chapman
Loyola Marymount
FSU-not a very small campus</p>

<p>Considered Chapman but I think the film school is difficult get into? Counts that out as a safety. Don’t know much about LMU though. Will look into that.</p>

<p>Also I may be a first generation student. Parents went to colleges in the Philippines but never finished.</p>
