There is no way to give you any safety school suggestions without knowing how much you can actually PAY annually to attend college. A safety isn’t a safety if unless it is affordable.

In my opinion, your current list above is very top heavy in terms of cost…unless your family can actually pay $40,000 a year for you to attend or more…per year. UMich does not meet full need for OOS students. BC, Wake and UVA are admission reaches. Your matches all cost more than $40,000 a year…some more than $50,000 a year.

Do you really have two siblings starting college,when you do? That is what you implied on your other thread. And do your parents earn in excess of $200,000 a year?

There is a whole thread in the financial aid forum for colleges that cost less than $25,000 a year. Look there.
