Hi Phoelo~
First-pat yourself on the back. You have obviously worked hard in HS.
As to your question, I am interpreting it as the listed colleges include your safeties…That being the case, I, personally, would not describe any one of these schools as a safety based on your stats. Now…that is not to say you don’t have good solid stats. Instead, it is because those colleges can’t possibly accept EVERY applicant with good stats, so therefore can not be considered as a safety.
Please look at colleges that offer the major you seek, and where your stats reflect the top 10%…college stats ie:average GPA UW 3.0-3.5 and SAT 1600-2000+…
I hope this helps-
