Bad GPA, looking for decent schools :C

<p>(This is copied from my other chances thread)
Ok so im looking for any schools maybe near the east coast which i could get into with these stats. My UWGPA comes out to be 3.23 (so low :C) and my WGPA being 4.5, my class rank will probably be top 25% and i have taken 9 APs. My EC's are good with interning at various hospitals in the summer and i have one leadership position. My recs are excellent and i dont need financial aid(dont know if this matters). I am instate and my SATs are 2190(retaking) the M+CR being 1430. Thanks for any input.</p>

<p>First of all, instate where? </p>

<p>Your gpa might be low, but your SAT’s and EC’s are very good. What’s your major? Small school? Big school? Major?</p>

<p>ah sorry for not providing any info at all.
I live in maryland, im looking for any size college however one with small classes would be nice. My major is premed (which i know isnt a major but i havent really decided on one :/), i really do like a nice campus and im more for a suburban kind of school. East coast schools are nice, however anything in the U.S. is a worth a shot.</p>

<p>University of Md is a strong school in your state.</p>

<p>Yeah haha thats the chances thread i was talking about. Im already looking at UMD but if i dont get in then i also want some decent alternatives.</p>

<p>Try mid-tier private schools. Maybe Boston College, University of Richmond, Villanova, or OOS schools like Worcester Polytech, VA Tech.</p>

<p>Would Villanova really be within range of my scores?
I thought it would a really high reach. But thanks for the suggestions!</p>

<p>You won’t get much aid from Nova but it will only be a slight reach…I’d say 66% probability. Go for it man.</p>

<p>thanks haha, im fine if i dont get any aid, as long as i can get in thats enough for my family lol.</p>

<p>Just make sure your ACT isn’t bad… like 27 or better.</p>

<p>Oh does nova require the ACT? Because i already did semi-well on my SATs so if i can skimp on the acts that would be fun :D.</p>
