<p>can u tell me what a 3.0 is outta a hundred?</p>

<p>thanks...</p>

<p>Villanova- Match
Rollins- safety
American- match
TCNJ- match to slight reach because you are outta state
Xavier- safety
Vanderbilt- High Reach
Johns Hopkins- Hihg Reach
Tulane- Match</p>

5

<p>Alright, I though American and TCNJ would probably be a safeties for me. I also though I'd have a better chance at JHU (relatively high SAT/minority).</p>

<p>Anybody else, chances?</p>

6

<p>actually jhu is a slight reach while vandy is a slight reach as well...but american is like safety/match</p>

7

<p>Vandy and John Hopkins are both reaches because of the GPA and unamazing SAT score. Your SAT score is good, but it isn't like you have a 2350 or something.</p>
