[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in the day, I would have put Boston University and not even Northeastern as a safety. We can full pay private so looking to add some safeties.[/quote]

I think that, these days, even rich students with perfect stats should apply for a nearby community college and a nonselective state college with good merit aid, in time to meet the merit aid deadlines.

They should also apply to their state flagships by the merit aid deadlines.

If the state flagship is very selective, I’d also consider adding a school from the list here: https://blog.prepscholar.com/highest-acceptance-rate-colleges

If the student has high stats and plenty of money, the student could consider adding great but low-glamor state flagships, like the University of Kansas or the University of Iowa, almost any private school ranked below the top 300.

If the student has high stats and is broke, the student could try looking at cheap English-language bachelor’s programs in Europe; aim for stats-based merit aid at places like Arizona State; or try the community college-to-four-year college route.
