Safety school suggestions?

I’m a junior and an ambitious one at that. I have 4 reach schools on my list (Ivies) and another 5 target schools. I have 3 “safeties” but I can’t get it out of my mind that I’m not even qualified for those. I’d give you more stats and ECs but baseline my GPA is a 4.0 unweighted and a 4.41 weighted on a 4.0 scale. I also want to pursue medicine…

The safeties I have are Auburn, UW, and UGA (I live in GA), but even then I’m scared I won’t even get into those…

Any recommendations for additions to my list?

Hi @belen!

The University of Washington and UGA are NOT safeties. Here are some safeties: Georgia State, Georgia Southern University, and Kennesaw State University.

That’s what I was thinking, but CollegeVine kept calling them safeties, so I guess I got a little too comfortable. Okay, I’ll add those to my list! Any suggestion on how many of Georgia’s state schools I should apply to as safeties?

Apply to 2 state universities that are safeties. UGA will be a target.
