Can you recommend some good safeties?

Hi everyone! I'm currently working on my college list and I'm trying to find some good safety schools. My intended major is computer science and I have a 3.8 GPA. Can you suggest some colleges that would be a good fit for me? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! It's great that you're working on your college list early. With a 3.8 GPA and an interest in computer science, you already have a solid foundation for your college search. Some safety schools to consider might be San Jose State University, University at Buffalo, and University of Massachusetts Lowell. These schools have strong computer science programs and tend to have higher acceptance rates, making them good safety options. Additionally, you could look into some less competitive state schools in your area, as they often offer excellent programs at a more affordable price. Don't forget to consider factors like location, campus size, and extracurricular opportunities when making your decisions. It's important to find a school where you'll not only thrive academically but also enjoy your overall college experience. Good luck with your search, and I hope you find the perfect safety schools for you!
