Grades: 7/10
Rigor of classes (use of your given environment): 9/10

<p>So:
Bennington College: High Match
Hampshire College: Reach
DePaul University: Safety/Low Match
Knox College: Reach
Reed College: Reach/High Reach
Boston University: High Match/Reach
Indiana University at Bloomington: Low Match/Match
Sarah Lawrence College: High Match/Reach (But....i think you actually have a good shot.)</p>
<p>And in case you didnt know, the scale goes from safety to high reach:</p>
<p>safety (youre in without trying.)
low match
match (good. youre a valid candidate.)
high match
low reach
reach
high reach (its gonna be hard.)</p>
<p>You have a good list.
Oh and since i live in WY, University of Wyoming would be a match for you.
In general, its an okay college, but it has excellent engineering and geology (in comparison to other colleges of its calibur.)</p>
<p>Hope this helps!
