<p>Academic Safety: You are guaranteed admission based on your grades and test scores (lots of public institutions post this right on their websites) or your high school has many years of records that indicate no one with grades and scores like you has ever been denied admission.</p>
<p>Financial Safety: You can pay for it without any aid other than federally determined (FAFSA) aid and/or guaranteed aid from that institution and/or guaranteed aid from your state/local government.</p>
<p>Rock-Solid Safety: Is both an Academic and Financial Safety, and offers the major you want.</p>
<p>True Safety: A Rock-Solid Safety that you know you could be happy attending.</p>
<p>Match: Your grades and test scores are in the mid-range for students normally admitted.</p>
<p>Reach: Your grades and test scores are below the mid-range for students normally admitted or so many students apply there that even though your grades and scores are in range, your likelihood of being admitted is pretty slim.</p>
<p>Ok, then any MATCH schools for 1580 SAT (new scores in 3 days) and about a 3.3 gpa overall from 9-11th grade, im a senior atm thanks NYC if possible</p>
<p>already looking at pace, baruch, need moar!</p>
<p>Is your 1580 SAT out 1600? If so Academically- your reach is Columbia and Hunter Honors, your High Match is NYU your safe match is Fordham and Hunter and NYU Engineer (I may be calling it wrong, but you can probably find it on google with that).
If its 1580 out of 2400, then Baruch is your match and Hunter and Fordham and NYU Engineer are your reaches.
If as it seems you want to major and presumably work in finance, dont bother with Pace.</p>
