Good Safety School Recommendations
Hello, I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm trying to begin compiling a list of colleges. I'm looking to major in something like political science, sociology, religion, history, or psychology. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA (although I estimate it will be around a 3.89 by the time I graduate) with a 1310 PSAT and plan to take 5 AP classes and 8 honors classes. I'm looking to go into law eventually and would rather not go to a large school or one where the weather is super hot (I'm from New England). I'm having trouble finding good safety schools. Any suggestions?
Hi @asingularmia! It's hard to tell what schools you would be competitive for based on just your stats. I suggest you put your stats and extracurriculars into our Chancing Engine: https://www.collegevine.com/schools/hub/simulator/sheet
This will give you an idea of what schools fall into the safety, target, and reach categories for you.
In order to sort through schools that meet your requirements of offering certain majors, are in a certain region, etc. check out our School List Hub: https://www.collegevine.com/schools/hub/all/sheet
In the filters, you can include majors you want to pursue (Poli Sci, Sociology, Religion, History, and Psychology), region you want the school to be in, and anything else that is important to you in narrowing down schools to apply to.
Hope that helps!
