Hi! Through my college search I have been struggling to find a safety school that I love. Please leave any suggestions of safety schools that I should look into (it’d be great if they had rolling admissions).

Please leave any suggestions for safety schools! And feel free to chance me if you want! :slight_smile:

My intended major is mathematics and some type of engineering, possibly aerospace.

Assuming UVA has a good engineering program,( most flagships do and UVA is among the best flagships in the country), I would start there. I certainly would choose them over the UCs due to price. Hard to say no to MIT. How important is feel? UVA and MIT are VERY different.

Your math and science scores are a bit of a problem for Caltech. That is a long application with a lot of essays. I’d be tempted to spend that time on other applications.
