<p>I applied to these schools through the Questbridge National College Match Program and was a finalist but was not matched so I had my application forwarded for regular decision. I have already been accepted Early Action to UVa.</p>

<p>I don't expect anything from any of these schools, but I just wanted to get some other people's opinions. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I guess that I should have put this in there too. I applied to 15 Universities and have been accepted to 9: Toledo, Trine, Cincinnati, Valparaiso, Marquette, Loyola, Dayton, Kentucky and Virginia. I am waiting to hear back from those 4, Wisconsin and Xavier (I think they lost something).
Needless to say, I was/am prepared for rejection from these 4. That is why I applied to so many schools.</p>

<p>I think that as long as you played up your application, you stand a good chance. Your scores and GPA meet the average percentile, so you shouldn’t worry about those. Honestly, it’s really just luck when it comes down to a decision, but you should not consider yourself “weak” in any category. </p>

<p>What concentrations did you pick on the application?</p>

<p>I put Civil Engineering as my concentration.
I guess I know that I am not necessarily weak in any area, I just feel that I am not strong in really any one…just pretty much on the fringe of what selective schools like this would want.
Thank you for your opinion!</p>

<p>Your ACT is a little low for Brown and Stanford, but other than that you look really good!</p>

<p>Thanks! Thats what I was thinking. I wanted to get it up to a 32 at the least, but it is what it is now though and all I can do is wait.</p>
