<p>I would say:
Drexel: Match
Salve Regina: Match
Loyola University: Low match
Fordham: Maybe
Villanova: Reach</p>

<p>The only thing I think holding you back from getting into Villanova and Fordham is your GPA and that you’re in the bottom 60%. I’m also not sure what type of classes you took? I’m assuming advanced courses. Otherwise everything looks pretty good. BTW thanks so much for replying to my thread! And I wasn’t too sure about Virginia Tech either. The admission rate is 70% but I’ve heard that chances are less if not a Virginia resident.</p>

<p>Thanks! Nope, i just took regular and honors classes because at my school you have to be in the top 15% just to get into APs. & no problem. Congrats on doing so well in hs. If only we could just combine our stats!</p>

<p>Will you need financial aid?
if so, try applying to 100% need schools.

They’re all reaches for you, but why not pick one or two that looks a little less selective than the others (especially those located 400+ miles from your home = you’d automatically bring geographic diversity) Same thing for schools that are matches for your stats = if you come from an under-represented state (think: Midwest, South, Southwest) = preferential financial aid packaging.</p>

<p>LMU, Salve Regina = safety
Drexel, Fordham, Villanova = match</p>

<p>Thanks man, good luck to you!</p>

<p>You will probably be admitted to all of these schools with your stats.

<p>I would say Drexel, Loyola and Salve Regina are matches but Villa Nova and Fordham are reaches, probably low reaches. your extracurriculars are strong and you have an upward trend in grades which will help you</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
