<p>Im not sure will get into harvard or yale, so i need some safties that are good for students who didnt get accepted into the ivys</p>
<p>there are always LACs and other schools. It entirely depends on what geographic area you’re looking at, what preferences you have, and such. </p>
<p>Personally, I will apply to maybe 3 Ivys, but I am looking at Texas schools and southrn schools for a lot of reasons. I am looking into Rice (if I get FA), Emory perhaps (again, need FA…its like 50K without FA), UTexas-Austin is my kinda safety school (will be considered in-state applicant so can’t see how i won’t get in), Baylor, and Texas A&M. </p>
<p>The last couple are my safeties, but as you can see, I’ve kinda planned it out. You need a couple reaches, like Ivys, some mid-safeties, and some definite matches, ideally. Now, the schools you choose for these categories depend on your financial status, what you want out of your education, what the school provides for you (besides the big name) and if the school will benefit you. </p>
<p>For example, going to Cornell as a premed may not be the best thing to do even though it has the name. They grade hard (supposedly,don’t wanna get into a debate about it, but just saying), and they aren’t renowned for premed. </p>
<p>So, back to the question, the safeties depend on where you’re looking at, if you need FA, resources, opportunity and how you fit in with the school. Do some research on collegeboard.com, under “Find a School”, or “Matchmaker” to find a school that meets your needs. Hope this helped!</p>
