Safeties/Matches like Cornell

<p>Specifically, I like Greek life, D1 sports, a nice campus, and engineering.
So far, I’ve come up with:
Lehigh
UMass
UVM
Bucknell
Syracuse</p>

<p>Any more out there?</p>

<p>There are many out there. What can your family afford? What is your home state? What are your stats?</p>

<p>Assuming you have the stats to get into Cornell, and the means to pay for it, almost any state flagship, and many non-flagships would fit all of your listed criteria.</p>

<p>Unless there were major merit aid, I don’t think I’d be able to afford too many out-of-state public schools. I’m going for need-based aid at Cornell and other privates—EFC of $5-10k. UMass is my ultimate financial safety for both in-state tuition and merit aid. I’m really only applying to UVM because my fee was waived. Most of the similar schools I’ve found are reaches—Northwestern, Vandy, WashU, etc.</p>

<p>[The</a> University of Alabama](<a href=“Page Not Found | The University of Alabama”>http://www.ua.edu/) and [UAHuntsville</a> - Home](<a href=“http://www.uah.edu/]UAHuntsville”>http://www.uah.edu/) both have excellent guaranteed merit-based aid for OOS students. There are even more institutionis that offer guaranteed aid in this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/848226-important-links-automatic-guaranteed-merit-scholarships.html?highlight=automatic[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/848226-important-links-automatic-guaranteed-merit-scholarships.html?highlight=automatic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>If money is an issue for you, and you have good stats, spend some time in the Financial Aid Forum reading all of the threads on those topics.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
