Can I consider St. John's a safety?

<p>(by St. John's, I mean the university in Queens, New York. Just clarifying because I know there's a St. John's College somewhere in this country)</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 weighted GPA (a quarter of St. John's students have GPAs in the 2s, accoring to collegeboard.com)</p>

<p>Predicted ACT score of 28 or so (I'm not sure what the average SAT is, but the average SAT is somewhere between a 1040 and 1140)</p>

<p>I do lack for a plethora of ECs, but I'm a contributing writer for the town paper (have heard from many, including the school itself that while ECs are considered, they are not weighed as heavily as some other top universities).</p>

<p>Though this might not be an abundance of info, can anyone tell me if this can be considered a safety?</p>

<p>P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with the price of tea in China, but I have two cousins and an uncle who attended... and other family members employed by the school (not currently).</p>

<p>i definitely think it would be a safety</p>

<p><em>I meant I don't know what the average ACT is... sorry... just caught that typo</em></p>

<p>It would definitely be a safety. 75th %ile SAT is 1180 and a 28 ACT is equivalent to a 1240-1270 on the old SAT I.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a link to the SAT/ACT conversion chart?</p>
