<p>What's your cumulative gpa?</p>

<p>My UW GPA as of now is 3.3</p>

<p>Keep in mind that there has been an upward trend since 9th grade (I obtained mediocre grades and even failed one class in 9th grade, but my GPA has made a dramatic jump since then.)</p>

<p>Elizabethtown College? That's an odd school to have on your list.</p>

<p>Here's how the US News ranks the selectivity of each of your schools:</p>

<p>Maryland - 44
Ohio State - 63
Pittsburgh - 70
Rutgers - 81
Delaware - 81
Connecticut - 84
Penn State - 93</p>

<p>Elizabethtown College - not in National Universities 1st tier (I don't know much about LAC's which is probably what this school is)
WVU - not in National Universities 1st tier
UMBC - not in National Universities 1st tier</p>

<p>Most of your schools practice very similar admissions practices and you are right in the range of accepted students for the test scores. I would say you have a good chance at all of them.</p>

<p>I put Elizabethtown College because it is very close to home and I would consider it somewhat of a safety</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply A2</p>
