For each ordinal α < ω₁, we prove the existence of a Banach space with a basis and Szlenk index $ω^{α+1}$ which is universal for the class of separable Banach spaces with Szlenk index not exceeding $ω^{α}$. Our proof involves developing a characterization of which Banach spaces embed into spaces with an FDD with upper Schreier space estimates.
