<p>An easy enough school to get into but still widely known preferably in the Northeast region like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Penn</p>
<p>Majors including hospitality, nursing, physical therapy, or just a long variety of options under business and health related majors</p>
<p>How much can you afford to pay?</p>
<p>A safety is a school that you’ll likely get accepted to AND can afford to attend.</p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>I live in Virginia but i honestly don’t want to stay here.
I already searched for schools in VA and applied to some schools here includig GMU and JMU
but im looking for other schools out of state</p>
<p>you can try west virginia university. its close but not that fara away.</p>
<p>but my safteys are URI, UC Boulder and Texas Tech</p>
<p>I would try Pitt-it’s rolling, cheaper than most(even for OOS it’s like 26k with lots of merit)
and has FANTASTIC nursing(UPMCs)</p>
<p>PM me for info</p>
<p>U Pitt is rather reasonable for an OOS public, but the cost of attendance is more than $26k…it’s $32,752 (for the current year).</p>
<p>Rocket is right that it gives good merit to students with high stats. What are your stats?</p>

<p>OK…but you still haven’t told us how much you can afford. 
That will make a difference. How much have your parents told you that they will spend each year on your education? :)</p>
<p>My stats are actually very bad due to moving around three times during my high school career and just not…studying.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.0
Community service: 356 hours</p>
<p>Nothing outstanding like years and years of a sport, leadership role, etc :/</p>
<p>My SATS are pretty low too so that’s why i was looking for more safety schools since nothing makes me stand out, positively. </p>
<p>Pitts seem more of a target than safety for me :(</p>
<p>Oh, and if i get accepted into a decent college, my parents will pay whatever amount
So they told me not to restrict myself since i don’t have much options anyways with my stats…</p>

<p>I sent you a PM so we could discuss this privately. :)</p>
<p>Try Drexel. I applied there as my safety. It’s in Philadelphia and has great science/engineering/health programs. It’s expensive (45,000 for tuition and room&board), but they give great merit aid and decent financial aid.</p>
<p>mom2collegekids-I was just referring to Pitt’s tuition! I should have been more specific!</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>Ahhh… </p>
<p>Rocket…I know that you’re a very savvy young lady and you know all about COA. </p>
<p>I’m just in the habit of always dealing with COA, because when I was going thru the college app process with my kids, I was always having to remind them not to just look at tuition, look at how much it will cost to go there. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, room and board can vary so much from school to school, that a person can’t simply add - say - $10k to tuition to cover room, board, books, etc. There are some schools that have housing costs that alone can be $15k (crazy! lol!)</p>
<p>So… I always deal with the COA number.</p>
<p>Check out University of Hartford. They extended their deadline and waiving app fee for online application. I know they give merit aid, but I don’t know at what GPA or SAT score. Have you taken the ACT? Maybe that will help you, rather than SAT. Hartford has a nice campus. Actually in West Hartford, a nice suburb, but borders Hartford. We went there and met some business majors. I see they have a nursing school too. My D ended up not applying, but I have a neighbor who went for a particular major and it worked out for her.</p>
<p>Try a SUNY.</p>
<p>I suggest Stony Brook :)</p>
<p>My safety is U of Michigan, In state.</p>
<p>holdahand: hofstra university, on long island…?</p>
