<p>I’m like 98% sure I’m applying to these schools:
rutgers - new brunswick, umd college park, umn twin cities, nyu, northeastern, wisconsin - madison</p>
<p>since they’re all kind of ranked ~35 - ~90 and only one of the publics are in state (MD), should I add a safety?</p>
<p>my SATs are 660/650/620… class rank 7/45, GPA 3.95, everything kind of slightly above average etc etc etc</p>
<p>my next options would be</p>
<p>parsons (probably the most expensive option, but I like it pretty well)</p>
<p>NYIT (could probably get lots of $$$, but not that interested in major, and kind of like an unspirited crappy commuter school)</p>
<p>DePaul (looove this school and could probably get in I think, but no major my parents really want me to do… probably only go there if I got lots of $$$ somehow and then went to grad school)</p>
<p>UIUC (similar to my other publics up top)</p>
<p>either Cal Poly Pomona or SLO (great schools for my major but don’t know about flying to college)</p>
<p>UMA (I think I would be pretty happy there… everythings pretty good about it except proximity to big cities)</p>
