<p>Is Hampshire an acceptable safety?

Are there any big-city/urban schools that would match my statistics? </p>

<p>Also, I’ll need FA. If that’s at all applicable. </p>

<p>Thank you in advance for sorting through this tl;dr.</p>

<p>Shoot, I should have included Carnegie Mellon and Johns Hopkins. </p>

<p>Sorry about that.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon is not a reach for you. You need to improve your SAT if you are serious about CMU.</p>

<p>Right, fix your SAT and Pitzer,NYU, and CMU should be matches. Your ECs look excellent, it’s good that they are focused on what you want to do in college.</p>

<p>Hampshire is a great college , students are really bright and creative. You must be willing/ able to take a lot of responsibility for your own education, stay focused and on track. If you are good with that, it’s a great choice.</p>
